Re: Was their ever a STL-10C?

IIRC there was an STH-10C found some time ago on the ARS, so the thought of an STL-10C wouldn't be too far fetched. I don't have the photos on hand, so if anyone can find it that would be great! Sidenote: you would not be able to simply slap a 3T22 intake onto an STH/L-10. The rotor on the STL is m...

Jessie Beck Elementary school
Washoe County Courthouse

Here's a photo of a man standing in front of one.

Re: Post your Mystery Sirens here.

Re: Albany, NY air raid siren

Nice find! From what I know, Albany, NY had three striped jailbar Thunderbolts. They were at: Albany County Supreme Court building, William S Hackett Middle School, and the police department at Western Avenue and W Lawrence street. They were installed in 1952, none of them remain sadly.
