Greetings and a Siren Question

[panoptagon]

Hello,

My name is Jeff Davis and I am a Sound Effects Editor/ Designer working in Vancouver B.C. I am currently working on a Film which takes place in London and Glasgow during the 1950's. I am in search of information on the Sirens/Bell's which the Police used on their cars during this period. Any information regarding Make, Model, Manufacturer would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Jeff Davis

You may want to try posting this question in the Other Warning Systems forum, because they discuss police sirens there a lot. Welcome to the board.

You will want to go to www.elightbars.com and ask the folks there. I know Federal Signal PA15 and PA20 electronic sirens were used, as well as smaller mechanical sirens. in the UK, I think they just had the hi-lo horns. Again, you will want to ask there.
