1 - Covington, KT.
2 - Lima, OH.
3 - Marion, OH.
4 - Oklahoma City, OK.

Beautiful photos!  There should be many more apparatus photos in that collection.  Tim Elder (SPAAMFAA) was given access to that collection 25 years ago and there were dozens of amazing pictures in there.  I'll start looking for these, but could you please post a link to this collection?  The four that you posted are:

#1 - Covington KY Pumper 10 1915 Ahrens-Fox #604 Model: K-14 1 of 2 purchased.
#2 - Lima 1915/16/17 Gramm-Bernstein/Northern
#3 - Marion OH 1914 Robinson 900 GPM Model: Monarch
#4 - OKC 1911 American LaFrance #20 Type: 5

Much to my surprise I found the URL for the Goodyear photos.  Go to: http://www.uakron.edu/libraries/archives/collections/digital-collections.dot  This leads to another question, were you able to obtain a larger size of the photos than what is shown on the screen?  The images are small (about 600 wide) and I noticed that the pictures you posted are roughly 1000 wide.  Help please!

Here are a couple more. I think the eng. is from Emeryville, CA., and it looks like it might by an ALF -?

At best, I find the 'hose-load' interesting... :-)

Just beautiful, and one of my favorite manufacturers.  This one is a Webb.  Those flared ends on the hose bed give these away plus they were big on using the wrap around front suctions.
