Most American air horn installations have the horns placed perfectly horizontal, while Europeans (mainly the Scandinavians, who love these things) usually angle the horns downward. Obviously a downward angle would help prevent unwanted water entry, but one would think that the effective coverage area would be somewhat lessened. Also, most horizontal American horns I've seen date from the 40's and 50's and have needed little or no maintenance to the horns themselves. Any ideas for advantages either way?
