There may have been another model used in some locations ...

I created a map of Cold War era sirens based on memory and social media posts of locations of St. Petersburg's CD siren system and research from newspapers: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1iXn2-G4xzz7_R7zQIgjuOJqj9uxlL7Gy&usp=sharing I did not include the Pinellas jail siren since that was a l...
