Here's one fron Ft. Worth's old system
Joe AKA Archon has one, which has been sold to me which I will be picking up next month along with the P-15. I know he has a few up close pics of the Howler (on a side note to joe, can I use some pics of the Howler and the P-15?)

I thought the howler looked like the allertor

Dan, thats not a Howler. A Howler is the chain-driven Allertor.

The belt driven Allertor is the Mobile Directo. I think these descended from the Mobile Directo, as they're driven by a belt. The rotor is smaller than the Allertor's (18" howler, 22" Allertor). The Allertor we're all fimilar with has a chain drive, which is the exact same chain drive as the P-10 and P-15, which were basicly Allertors with differnet shaped housings. I'll take some up close pics of the rotation drives on both sirens once I get them.

Around 1980 the shrouds changed at ACA The older design caused freeze ups in winter. Federal also changed there Shroud design on the 500 also due to freezing up problems.

From what I understand, this is a Howler. It's atop East High School in Memphis, TN. Originally gasoline powered and is single toned.

No, I'm rather confident that that's just a gas-powered Allertor. There are many pictures of white ones from Culver City, California on the Siren Archive.

This is most likely a Mobile Directo. B&N made both gas powered and electric Mobile Directos. I'm sure it didn't take much to convert it into electric..
