ARCHIVED: Mystery Sirens (2008-3/2021)

I half-believe this is a windmill, as it is on a windmill tower, but it looks too much like a siren for me just to ignore the possibility of it. Located in Friona, TX.

That definitely looks like a very old wind generator to me. Notice the three curved, broken off pieces of vanes on the end of the shaft that would have supported the center hub of the prop.

Here's a something in Greenville, GA. A friend thinks it is a bell, but I think it may be a cut up small siren, like a Model A or something. Another friend who once lived in the area says it goes off for warnings, and is about as loud as an STH-10. Maybe it's a siren, who knows?

That looks to me like an ASC T-112 or a CTI siren.

That's what I figured, but if you really wish hard enough, it looks like someone bastardized a fire truck siren into something else.

Agreed on the T-112.

Here's one I know I've posted. It's located in Cedar Vale, Kansas. They have another one I believe.

That's a rotating soundmaster.

That is some sort of Soundmaster that we have yet to get a recording of.

The elusive Soundmaster 125.

Someone needs to get a recording of one of those. I love 8/12 port sirens.
