It looks like a 12-port Model 3 to me.

Weren't Model 3 sirens a bit smaller? And I thought that Model 3's used different motors then the Model 5's and 7's.

Looks like it is a later Type-B but do you mean Dual as in Dual toned or Dual as in the ports on the sides?

To muddy the waters a bit, some of the Philly vents had a small siren mounted on top of them.. I am still going to say this is an underground vent. I also read the supporting story and it would appear to me that they got ahold of information that there was a siren located there and seized on that thing as the siren for thier website.
What was the small siren mounted on top of the vent? Are there any pictures?

there is no siren on the vent. They're the holes for the vent outlet.

Gentlemen,

Have another for you, I'm back working on the siren map again. Today my travels have brought me to Sublette, Kansas.

I feel this might be a Darley model, but I had no idea they were this big. (Reference the dude servicing it in the streetview.)

Thank you in advance
