Does anyone knowhat kind of siren Yantai, China would likely have?

Reported to be horizontal with rotors at each end.

Thank you,

"Yan" = smoke "tai" = place
"yan" = smoke + ?huo" = fire = fireworks

Maybe a dual-head Darley Champion, a Fed-Sig Lion, some kind of Sterling, or (bad guess, but) a 2t22 or 3t22 w/no horns and laying sideways? :?:
If your siren is a-failin'
Chances are that it's a Whelen
And if it's just about to die
Then it must be an ATI

In the Siren Archive, there is a siren in China matching this description built by Elektro-Kn?diger. It is gigantic compared with the woman standing next to it, but the name sounds German or Scandinavian, and I haven't heard of this company elsewhere. I don't know of any European sirens like this. It looks like a huge Carters with rotors that appear to be almost 1m. diameter.

Wow!
That WOULD be IMPRESSIVE and worth risking pictures.

But the cover underneath which it is kept is only about 4 feet in diameter.

Maybe they raise it vertically, then tilt it to horizontal.
But why bother? Just keep it vertical.

It is believed that it is the same horizontal dual siren previously located
in a nearby "Pagoda"-like cement tower.
Hope I can get good photos.
