2t22/3t22

[AllSafe]

I have a pic somewhere of a 3-phase 2T22 on the ground which was restored at a local motor shop. It is over five feet high and some three-to-four feet in diameter. They had to start it up without the horns and with tape over the stator ports to keep it from deafening them!

Taken apart , the 2t22 is a relatively easy siren to handle,it can be hand trucked or rolled around......

From what are it's rotors and stators made?

The stators are of iron, while the rotors are of aluminum, as I remember.

once you get it on a pole, how do you put it up? and why dont they just snap the pole in a small wind storm?

i have a computer multi media class in school and right now we are doing a web page project for the things we made with adobe photoshop and other stuff. we are able to put up 3 pages on things we like so i made a page on civil defence and the 3t22 along with the chrysler siren

I removed all the weight from my 2t22 that I could; 22 cones @ 5 lbs each = 110 lbs and rain cap - really to not damage it.

Then Robert Miller the tree killer, owner of High Climbers Tree service, for which I work part-time, kindly used his highranger to lift the 2t22 from the 45' agl pole.
The body was not as heavy as I had feared.

Would love to see your page.

lol, i have people asking me what i want for christmas and i say"well i know i wont get what i want" the reply is"why is that?"
becasue no body will buy me a air raid siren or a dump truck! there is a 1960 mack b model dumper at the local junkyard i want but he wants 2000. i will indeed buy it but i wont get a siren do to the fact they are not easy to find or get. besides, they dont care enough to look for one like me. i might do a half and half thing, find one and have a bunch of people help me pay for it. my gift from you is i want you to get the friggin thing!

Valley, Nebraska, has three of them still on poles and unused. They were replaced with 2001's. I believe they are 2T22's.

How do you learn of all of this, Daniel?
Amazing!

Do you know of some way I can contact them?
They may actually be close enough to justify a trip if we could obtain one for a tornado warning siren.

Thank you,

Valley has a website.
