Which fire apparatus served Ladder 18 before Engine 15 became the new engine company?

Fire Departments That Don't Use Standard (NST) Hose Threads
I remember reading an article as to why the FDNY has a different thread and why it stayed that way, way back then. Today it would be a HUGE cost in changing all standpipes, hose couplings, outlets etc. Does anyone know where I can find something telling that story.- EdMc
