Do a 12-port Model 5 and a 12-port Model 7 sound any different?

Where are the former locations of the rare 10/12-port ACA Allertors in Mason City, IA? According to Troy Sundt, they were clearly labeled "Allertor 130."

Any mountings you have seen that is not what you'd normally see?

The Hope Fire Company doesn't have a belltower so it has to be the borough hall, BUT I know for a fact it was on the back of the building which would mean they would have had to disconnect it, re-route the wires to the belltower, and mount it. Also photo evidence is there that shows no siren in the...

The bell tower on the Borough Hall or on Hope Fire Co? I have seen pictures of the Borough Building's tower and cannot see a siren in there.

The Allertor I know still remains is on a platform between two utility poles at Our Lady of the Presentation Catholic Church, on NW Murray Rd. Judging b...

Loudoun County, Virginia has a few of them still remaining. There used to be Allertors in Middleburg, Philomont, Neersville, Lovettsville, Arcola, Round Hill, Lucketts and possibly Purcellville. Now, the only ones remaining are Philomont (active as a fire siren), Lucketts (decommissioned) and Arcola...

The Allertors in Mason City had the 10/12 port ratio, which is very rare, but may be more common than we think. The Allertor in Lee's Summit also has the shallow intak...

I think roof-mounted sirens should always be on the highest part of the building. Here are some examples of buildings/sirens where that is not the case. http://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q= ... 0283201831 Model 3 in the last picture. https://scontent-b-iad.xx.fbcdn.net/hph ... 0519_o.jpg ...

I hear that the silver Model 5/7 on top of the South Lee fire station is a 5/7T, not just a regular 5/7. Is that true? There is also another siren in South Lee, that sirs atop the Willow Mill, a half mile from the Model 5/7T. The second siren is light-blue in color and I believe it is a Model 3 but ...
