ARCHIVED: Mystery Sirens (2008-3/2021)

[archizackture]

It looks extremely large to be some kind of chimney vent, and if that were a metal exhaust pipe it looks like that would be a lot of weight for it to carry. Not to mention it wouldn't need to be anywhere near that long and tall.

I bet I know what that is, it's part of a woodstove. They make these very very tall so that they dont get carbon on the roof, since they can leave embers on the shingles if they are too close to them. Woodstove pipes are also very thick around.

Actually, I heard someone describe a siren that fit this one's description. It was made by British General, I believe.

Can we get some comparison photos please? Photos of woodstove pipes that look like this, and photos of that siren?
I'm still not convinced that's a stovepipe. Yes, I'm aware of why they are tall, but that is still WAAAY taller than a normal stovepipe from my experience. And the top portion looks way too large to be a normal pipe vent.

I found what looks like an STH 10 at the Natick Soldier Systems Center but I cant tell for sure

Without a doubt an STH-10!

Natick Labs. Quite an interesting place really. That is where MREs were developed in the late 70's and early 80s. Mostly for our guys, but also so some people can get them out onto trays for our enjoyment (Nice!). I never imagined Natick having a siren though in all seriousness, although it is DOD property so anything is possible.

Today I have found a mystery siren and I'm hoping someone can identify this siren.

GCS Model 5.

Need help identifying this siren. Was obtained as a WWII surplus, now used for fire/weather at the Collettesville, NC Fire Dept.

It's a Model B. They came in three styles, with that being one of them. Here's another example. You can tell it's a B because the stator and flair on the end are both one piece.

I know this is being extremely pedantic, and it probably doesn't matter, but the tag on these is "Type B", not "Model B"

The top half of that is definitely some custom fab work. The stator looks textbook Federal Model 5, but the motor should have feet on it. Perhaps it's a Model 5 rotor/stator, with a replacement motor of some sort?
