Looks cool to see, gives me and others a view of siren coverage but would’ve been nicer if we knew the locations. At least I found four already, but I think if I search more I’ll find even more, maybe up to ten?

This is just surprising to me. How do you even manage to find all these newspapers?? Anyways, thank you for some locations and I’m glad we found more where we possibly wouldn’t find without archived newspapers. I have added you as a contributor to the Santa Clara County map because I believe you have done much to the locations of the map and what’s there and not. Anyways, I think they were SD-10 sirens but I have no evidence to back it up. Sunnyvale had SD-10s and scream masters and Mountain View would probably have something like that as well I think.

I also found a siren (looks like an SD-10) in the left of this picture https://californiarevealed.org/do/22402 ... ac1#page/1 This is at Mountain View (the corporation yard), which may indicade they used SD-10’s only. I’ll have to look to see where the corporation yard was though. Searching it in Google Maps didn’t work.
