So I found this along Leedsburg Pike in Great Falls, VA while I was visiting Washington D.C. this weekend. I passed it a few times as my hotel was in Potomac Falls. It might not even be a siren but does anyone have any ideas?

It looks like a pole mounted transmitter or something.

Anyone got an idea what this is? I found it in Charleston, TN. I'm going to say its a Darley, but I'm not sure.

Looks like a vent to me. Looks too small to be a siren.

I recognize the motor. It's a very old and exposed to the weather Sterling M5 which appears to be missing a rotor, backing plate and both stators and housing pieces

Could it be a 2hp H.O.R?

That was figured out a while back. It's an HOR Siro-Drone

It might be related to those wacky ADT Clear Voice sirens.

OOPS

Here's something in Ashland City, TN. I'm 100% positive on the opinion that it's a siren due to the fact that I can make out a stator and chopper.

OOPS

Was there a point in posting that?

When Ian, Jeb, Matt, and I all met at Charlie's house, we did some exploring on StreetView and found this thing. We could never figure out exactly what it was, or if it was even a siren. I know somebody brought up the possibility of it being a Whirlwind, but I'm not too familiar with those.
