The Siren Board

So would this mean that there are 5 2001s that weren't installed yet at the time of the survey?

I assume so. I didn't actually realize how many there were until I looked at this list. Where are the others that I haven't mentioned?

1. Kenn Rd & Waycross Rd (Forest Park)
2. Dead end of Mandarin Dr (Forest Park)
3. Wyoming City Building (800 Oak Ave)
4. Kellogg Ave & Sutton Rd (Anderson Twp)
5. Next to a chuch Plainfield Rd & Myrtle Ave (Sycamore Twp)

Something I don't get is why some of the sirens have different antennas on them. Most of the sirens(maybe all) in the City of Cincinnati seem to have a different one on them than most of the sirens in the suburbs, although I believe I saw that antenna on one of the Addyston 2001s, while the other 2 use the regular ones.

Well, I'm wondering if the city's sirens use Federal RTUs, and most of the suburb's sirens use ASC RTUs.

First, look at the antenna on the Clifton School TBolt.


Here, if you look at the 2001-130 Data Sheet, scroll down to the installation set up picture, and you'll see that the antenna they use is the same one the as the TBolt in the photo above.

Just so you guys know, I e-mailed Werden Electric and asked them if the t-bolt that is on top of St. Bernard Elementary was the t-bolt that was originally on top of the Nu Maid plant, and they said that it was.

Thanks for the info Nick.

When I was may around 5 years old, my mom would take my brother, sometimes cousins, and myself (when we were not in school) to watch the monthly test of the City of St. Bernard Thunderbolt,which is where these pictures came from. Anyway, as many of may know, this plant was closed and torn down. The Thunderbolt was taken down, repainted and may be refurbished and then moved to St. Bernard Elementary. This is the only siren that St. Bernard has, and probably only needs because the city is only about 1 square mile.

Do any any of you have an idea as to where the blower and control box might be. I'm thinking that they might be in the open area underneath the NU-MAID MARGARINE sign.

What do you think?

If those weren't on the roof, they could've been underneath the roof sitting on something. I know I've seen other Thunderbolts around here where you can only see the head above the roof, and the blower and controls are underneath the roof.

you are probably right
