Australia’s sirens.
The amount of sirens in Australia is quite limited since the Cold War and WW2. However some survive and some still run and remind us of the bone-chilling sound of war. Here is a list of sirens found in Australia-
Klaxon SS6 - one model has been found atop a fire station. The SS6 is a small, 95 decibel air raid siren which was used for small local areas and buildings. It was originally part of a deal made by ACA and Klaxon to ship SS6s into America, in return of shipping sirens like Cyclones and Screamers into Australia. The SS6 has the bare bones of what a siren can do, and can produce 2 signals, although more can be produced with special modification. This siren is no longer produced anymore and is incredibly rare!
Darley Champions - There are a multitude of Champions across America and Australia. They were used as early air raid sirens and sometimes flood sirens in Australia. Champions are another basic Carter - similar siren, although many other models have been found that differ from it with either modification or special models eg. Darley Champion Model 5. (Excludes the Darley 3V8 Set) and consisted of two motors and stators on parallel sides,
Similar to British or German sirens eg. (Carter - UK / Elektror - Germany) .
A recent post here suggests there are no Federal Signal Sirens in Australia, but that in fact is untrue.
There are a few Fedelcode sirens in Australia, believe it or not. Fedelcode sirens had a number of conical skirts connected to a shroud, which inside contains the motor, stator and the damper (if damper was installed, which not many have) and they are one of the more famous sirens on here.
They were indeed produced by Federal Electric, and there is evidence of a Model 2 in Australia.
We also had a “Mystery Siren” it was discovered on here, but it was a Cold War siren, with a large conical horn that rotated, or an omnidirectional tri-horned model. We did discover it but I do not know the name. Here is a link to it: https://www.airraidsirens.net/forums/vi ... hp?t=27497
Here is all the information I found. I know it’s a long piece but I did find it all.
