The Siren Board

Everyone here is upset about my desire to take photos of the
West Yantai Mountain airaid siren test this Tuesday.
Jail, not being allowed to return to the US, being delayed leaving China, confiscation of camera, etc.

This is much a do about nothing - or should be.
To make an issue of a siren which has been shown on local TV news and is listed in a China company website?

In an e-mail, The Lion King Company, in Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province
kindly answered that the Yantai siren is theirs.

They did not answer which model.

A further inquiry has not been answered.
They wanted to have a photo of MY siren for confirmation - whatever that means.

Go to http://www.lksos.com/company.htm and check out whathey have.

Could the bluish-colored shallow cone metal disk on the grass which I touched be their siren's actual raincap?
Looks the same color as in their website.
But the cap appears 4+ feet across - greater than any Lion King indicates for their sirens.
But also, the diameter of the disk is too small a size for their models with megaphone cones projecting.

More later... I hope.

They may be commies and all, but, IT'S A SIREN! I don't think it's worth getting your arse thrown in jail for! You can take my opinion and trash it for all I care, but if it was me, I would NOT do it!

I would have to agree with Nelso. Please keep in mind that this is my personal opinion. If it were over here in the US and you were going to be thrown in jail, I wouldn't be too worried about it (not saying that I would do it). However, the jails and court system over there, if you can call it that, would not want to be experienced by somebody like you and me. Their conditions are going to be very poor and you will be treated like you are scum on the floor. Basically, it's going to be like hell. To me, risking going into that is not worth a siren photo.

I AM scum on the floor (formerly of pond) - and your point?

My Communist brother-in-law will get close, if possible, and take detailed photos.
I will be several hundred yards north at a monument which American Imperialist tourists would be expected to visit.
I will zoom in and probably get much better sound by not being as
close as I wish.

Lion King says it is their siren, but did not say what model

The nexthing I'd like to visit and photograph is a sewage treatment plant -IF they have one.

Just remember, in China, they don't love you loong time.

No Money no Honey

INteresting, isn't this the company that was producing the knock off version of the Chrysler Air Raid siren? Funny, it's not on there anymore

That wasn't a knock-off. That was one of the original Chryslers sent
to China back in the 1940s. It was obvious from the photos. They repainted
it and put it on wheels if I'm remembering the photos correctly.

I'd love to have their bicycle-powered siren to go along with our Schwinn 5-speed tandem!

It would be a lot of fun and a good work out seeing how loud I could make it by myself. (Probably loud enough for a dustdevil warning.)
