Hmmm. When I visited New York City, I didn't see any sirens. Maybe someone has pictures? :?: :?:
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

No. No Chrysler air-raid sirens are in working order, except David Stall's. www.victorysiren.com

There was a post on this site a long time ago about NYC dismantling its siren system, which was quite extensive in the 1950's. There was a photo of an old WWII Sterling 2V8 or something like it on the roof of a subway station, but there are only a few left from what I understand.

I do know that after 9/11, Federal Signal had a mobile Modulator at Ground Zero

And they also installed Directional Speaker Arrays (DSA4s)
