Old Federal video

Sun Feb 23, 2014 3:49 pm

I was sent this by fellow user "TNT1001", and I thought it was cool, so I decided to post it here. I apologize if it has been posted before. It shows the production of sirens at the Federal plant back in the '50s or 60's, but I would presume 50s since the company is referred to as "Sign and signal", which existed from '58 to '76, if I remember correctly.

That is really cool! It shows them testing a Thunderbolt with a 6M blower. This was most likely the late 50s.

The Thunderbolt sounding in the beginning sounds like a Super Sirex.

I want that job!

The siren sounding in the beginning is the sound we've all heard for years, the siren heard in Night of the Twisters and the siren heard in Twister.
