Sirens combined with... air horns?

[sheppardpat47]

Hello everyone

I've seen in some pictures old/abandonned sirens combined with air horns, like not the Gamewell Diaphones but real truck air horn or something like that, what was the point of them?

I don't find any threads specialized for this type of setup so, I made one ! Do someone here have also pictures of this type of horn+siren setup? Thanks!

Here's the Southington sentry with horns: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5753to-HeIE
according to the description they're sounded for meetings Mondays at six. the description says they're diaphones but I'm 90 percent sure they're just air horns since its in Ohio.

I have never seen a Model 2 like that.

Center Moriches Fire Department has a Sireno Type 3 and Cunningham horns. I think the Cunnninghams are used for medicals. I know the type 3 is a fire siren. Both do noon blasts.

It almost looks like it would be a Darley rebrad of a Fedelcode 2

Look like a GSC siren right? Maybe a prototype... I just realized that I've never seen this siren !

It could be but GCS sirens have a more flat top unlike
Darlys witch have a more dome shaped top
