I believe the technical term you're all fishing for is "Avian Meat Processing and Distribution Unit."

I don't think the Mobil Directo had anything to do with Canadian manufacturing. The rotating CLM is internally much different from the MD. The MD was made during the Biersach and Niedermeyer days (pre-ACA) and I think was the first siren the company made.

The Mobil Directo was American made and had nothing to do with any Canadian company. CLM Industries was an electrical company that made tones of electrical components for hydro and anything you can think of. They were contacted by the Canadian government to build sirens for the Department of National Defence, so the sirens were just another one of their many products.

Did CLM also build those Carter-shaped Canadian sirens of the post-war period?

As far as I'm told, some of the early ones were imported from England, the rest (including the 20/24 1750/1800 RPM ones) were made by a Canadian company, most likely CLM.

I think CLM Industries started making sirens in the early 1950?s; I believe they made Carter type sirens because I have a manual from CLM for a carter style siren. But all the Cold War Carters I know of look like they were from another company, Burleck Carter, who made those Carter sirens from the Toronto photos of them in the factory (the 20/24 port and 10/12 ones). Maybe they both made them very similar or Burleck Carter was a branch off of CLM, I have no idea. The Controls for the Carter CLM in my manual are also different looking then the regular CLM controls. Also all the those different looking Carters common in British Columbia were also build in Toronto (Scarborough) but I?m not sure of the company name.
