This video series was well done, and is a good historical representative of the early days.

The City of Manchester NH had been using hose directly off its hydrants since the water systems installation in 1872. That Holly hydrant was in no way required for that to happen. Operation depended on the pressure that water works wanted to keep in the system. As long as a hydrant had 40-60 pounds of operating pressure you could do just about anything you needed to do.
