Model 3 has a 14 inch rotor, 5 horsepower motor. They aren't very big at all.

A 12 Port siren on 50Hz would peak at about 560hz.

Here is an old Italian 12-port La Sonora siren sounding on 50 Hz. Apparently at least one European manufacturer used motor housings.

I think it's just the motor; it's quite wide.

Also the siren in Komotini could very easily be a Fedelcode Model 2...

I remember a video on youtube of 2 sirens ontop of a fire station in Europe. Same model, but one was 12 and the other 7. If anyone can find this youtube video that would be great.

It seems the siren is indeed a Fedelcode model 2 (or 3?). Probably the one and only American siren in Greece. A real mystery how it made it to Thrace...

probably a model 3 or 5? Model 2 had the cap and two "skirts," the Model 3/5/7 had the cap and one "skirt."

I'd say it's a Model 3 based on how close the "skirts" are to each other.

Yeah there's no doubt in my mind that its a Model 3.
My knowledge excels on the Federal Thunderbolt siren and SiraTone EOWS sirens. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I was thinking of these Fedelcode Model 2's here https://airraidsirens.com/forums/viewto ... =2&t=15407
