Could also be a Federal Type B.

Nah, the stator design is a dead giveaway.

Well, I can eliminate it being a Sterling M or an earlier Federal Type-B. It could be a later Type-B, Ian and Jeb would know if the horns on those were cast into the stator like earlier models.

That is a Sterling stator.

Okay, I feel incredibly stupid now. It's a Sterling M, probably M-5 going from the size. The lack of protrusions for the motor cover threw me.

Has anyone here ever been to the Glacier Park Lodge in Montana? I went there this summer and it looked like there was a small green siren on the roof. It looked a bit like a federal model X or something similar. It was on top of the chimney, but it wasn't connected by any pipes to the chimney, it was on legs. It might have been a smoke baffle, but I doubt it. I'm sorry I don't have any pictures, I'm too lazy to put the pictures on to a computer and upload from there.
I'd also like it if someone could help explain the differences of federal model Xs are.
EDIT: You can kind of see it here, but it's very grainy, and was taken from very far away. It is on the chimney to the very right. I did not take this photo.
