Apparatus Notes

7-5-3 became outmoded as improved mechanical components & lubrication became the norm; the floodlight/generator body from G-126 was moved to this chassis, as the original was 35 years old at this point and showing age; was originally created to become the new 9-1-2, but never actually went in service
