Isn't this an early ATI?

Yup. And that thing at least looks aggressive to a certain extent, unlike ATIs do today. Notice the cable running to the drivers; Whelen was not the only one to use an oscillating head!

I don't think that's necessarily an "old" ATI. I think Longmont, CO just installed a bunch of those. Also, I want to say that a power plant somewhere in New England (Lemerick maybe) that installed some of those, then ended up suing ATI for non-performance and replaced them with I want to say T-121s or T-128s.

Dosn't surprise me that ATI was sued

I'm suprised that ATI is still in business with all of these lawsuits and their poor quality products.. I would happily take over ATI.

The first thing that comes to mind when you say that is the Indian Point plant in Peekskill, NY (on the Hudson). When I drove through that area I saw one of these old ATIs (except it was with two horns facing one way, two facing another) in the woods just off the highway, but I also saw some Penetrators and their replacements, "normal" modern ATIs.

What is this?

Looks like some kind of HOR rotational siren. I think we already had a discussion over this siren somewhere..
