Fyr Fyter siren?

[DJ2226]

I've never heard of this before, and it's OLD from 1963 It looks like a Whelen WS-1004 with the arrays turned. It seems like it was made before Whelen's WS sirens. Maybe the first electronic siren in the US?

Ive seen ads for this on ebay before. I wonder what it sounded like? So mysterious...

[EOWS1212man]

It was the first ever electronic siren I believe. It sort of reminds me of an EOWS-115 from the horns.

[Mysterious T-Bolt 111]

I guess it seems like every siren company that has/had produced electronic sirens has had a connection with Atlas at some point? Fyr-Fyter, ACA/ASC, Whelen, ATI, and FS.

Very neat ad nonetheless!

I know Cobb County, Georgia had several of those. I don't know if any still exist though.

Those are actually Whelen WS-1004s in Smyrna and Kennesaw, not Fyr-Fytrs. Seems that most of those Fyr-Fytrs that were produced stayed up around the northeast region.

I am also wondering what one sounds like. Also, I wonder how loud they are. 1963 was the year my dad was born. Very Neat.

Is it the Fyr-Fytes Model A?

My mom was born in 1963 and my guess is it would sound like a smoke alarm or a fire alarm because Fyr Fyter is a fire equipment company. I have many fyr Fyter fire extinguishers and 1 smoke alarm they made.
