Thunderbolt prototype? That is very cool, and may be the earliest thunderbolt ever seen!

Is that a relief valve on top of the chopper cap?

Re: Vintage siren photos thread
Heh, I was wondering how long before somebody else would find this and post it. What's even cooler is the man at the right of that primitive RCM setup is none other than the "father" of the Thunderbolt (and many other early Federal siren designs) himself, Earl Goswiller. I believe the man to his left beside the controls is the assistant Civil Defense director for Minneapolis, if I recall correctly. It would really be something if this early prototype still existed, but the chances of that being true are slim to none.TrainsAndSirens1 wrote:I found this on eBay today!

Looks like he has the chopper hooked up to a variac. Guess they were showing off its abilities to run at various pitches.

Re: Vintage siren photos thread
Does anybody know where this picture was taken? In the background, i see a tower that looks like the foshay Tower (an early tower in Minneapolis).
