Eventually, however, the motor fire en-gine will demonstrate its superiority be-cause it is lighter, faster, and more easilycontrolled in traffic than the cumbersomecombination of a tractor element and asteam pumping engine. In the motor en-gine, one power plant serves the dual pur-pose of driving the apparatus to the fireand driving the pump to throw waterupon it, whereas any system that permitsretention of the steamer involves twopower plants, one of which is neces-sarily idle while the other is disadvantage is that the motorpropelled steamer does not have time toget up sufficient steam on the way to afire to be effective at once upon its ar-rival, whereas a motor engine has avail-able the full power of its engine imme-diately.
