Cincinnati Metropolitan Area Sirens

How exactly does that shop built siren work? is it super charged?

Here's what I know about it. It's basically two different sirens, because the guys who built it wanted to dual the sound, so they found the easiest way to make it into two different sirens rather than trying to make a dual-toned rotor. So, one of the sirens is high-pitched, and the other is low-pitched. The high-pitched one is a big, long stationary horn. The low-pitched one is inside a metal box. Both sirens are on opposite sides of the roof they sit on top of. I could be wrong, but I believe they both operate from the same controls. That's all I really know about it.

One of the eeriest sounds I've heard!

I never noticed how fast the wind-up on the higher-pitched siren is. Must have a pretty powerful motor behind it.

I'm still curious as to what kind of siren device is lurking under that metal box; I originally thought they took the housing off a Thunderbolt-blower based on a pic I saw long ago.

I can't tell where this is, but here's a video of ANS installing a T-128 somewhere, posted by the EMA.

Not to be a weirdo or anything, but here's a random photo of the New ASC T-128 with a P-15 in Fashion Heights/Delhi:

Good photo. This must be next to the Cincinnati Bell building at the corner of Cleves Warsaw Pike & Linneman Rd. That P-15 had been sounding sick for several years.

Thanks, and on my photostream, I have a amusing photo of the Decommissioned Thunderbolt on the Factory Downtown.

I wonder why Werden hasn't removed their custom P-15 in Newtown yet...that T-128 has been hooked up for quite a while.

[carexpertandy]

Probably because Newtown hasn't paid to remove either of their P-127s yet...
