Tiller "trucks" go all the way back to the days of hand-drawn wagons...when the ladders were wooden and longer than the bed section is now. Most of the company (and later, horses) pulled the tow ropes and the front steering axle followed. The "tiller man" guided the rear wheels around tight corners with a beam connected to the rear axle sticking out from the rear of the ladder wagon, similar to the tow handle of a child's red wagon. I believe that following steering beam is where the term "tiller" originated. When horses and extension ladders arrived the tiller man moved to a removable seat and steering wheel atop the rig.

Probably a very obvious answer; understanding these rigs, outside of the buckets, are pre-piped, is that due to the fact it would be difficult for the water to be pumped that high up, the length of the stick, or it would be that the City would require the length to be higher, to better cover building fires?

Outside Vent. The OV’s main job is to vent the fire from the outside while the engine company extinguishes the fire from the inside. Venting the fire allows the heat and smoke to escape and allows the engine company to make an easier “push” into the fire area. Sounds simple right? Well, it does actually get quite a bit more complicated than that. The role of the OV should be fulfilled by an experienced firefighter mainly because this position is not under the direct supervision of an officer and is tasked with some important responsibilities as well as decisions to make such as… The ability to read fire as well as smoke conditions. The ability to determine when the appropriate time to vent is. The ability to determine when VES will be required. Can you determine the layout of the inside of a private dwelling by looking at the windows? If you need to VES a bedroom which window do you enter? These are just some of the decisions that an OV will have to make during a fire. It is worth mentioning again, that this position should be filled by an experienced firefighter. An inexperienced firefighter put into this position making the wrong decisions could have catastrophic results.
