The first ones are definitely Cyclones. The others are single-tone and probably Taiwanese.

I'm pretty sure the first siren is electronic. I came on a picture of it in an online catalog somewhere and I'm trying to find it again now.

Looking closely at the second siren, it almost looks like it could also be an ACA product. (The first siren is indeed a cyclone, however, the motor looks like it is missing its outer housing. Are all the cyclone units in Taiwan like this?)

Great pictures!
The first siren shown is a Cyclone, yes.
The fifty-horsepower motor looks smaller than I thought!
Doesn't the ACA Cyclone have its motor above the rotor?

No, I'm quite certain the motor on a Cyclone sits below the rotor. It is much too heavy to sit above the rotor.

Very nice pic's.
They sure like their metal towers!
I take it that those must be very heavy?

That cyclone has a 50 hp motor!?
I'm surprised the single-toned sirens pictured have screens.
The sirens on the mainland have a magnet which parks the rotor with the fins blocking the ports. No need for screens.

All Cyclones have a fifty-horsepower motor, as rolled out of the factory.

Wow!
What is the port ratio and diameter of that siren?
And weight?
