Eddystone Siren

Mon Sep 15, 2014 5:59 am

I ran across this excellent photograph of the Eddystone, Pennsylvania Town Hall in 1948. You can see two sirens on the roof of the building.

Looks like a B and a C31/2, the predecessor to the Model 5.

That Type B also appeared to be single headed.

It's possible, but if it weren't you'd only be able to see one corner of a white horn against a white sky, could just be washed out.

I wonder, do any of these still exist 66 years later?

Well according to Google Maps, they now seem to only have a Model 5 behind the fire department.
