 
This is the Roto-Pac most people will recognize. Chain driven flights carried the refuse up the tailgate, and a reciprocating packer near the top helped to consolidate the load. On this early model, the hydraulic motor and reduction drive are visible at the top of the tailgate. Later versions covered this assembly. New York and Philadelphia were major users of Roto-Pac even through the late 1960's.
