I can't see the picture, what is the siren?

It's a French siren on top of a French town hall. They came in different shapes and sizes- I've seen a small one like this with short horns, then there's massive ones that look more like large spiders than anything else. If I can find the SD card I pictured what seems to be a Model 3 core with no housing on it. It looked quite green as well...

I know I have posted it before but it still remains epic as far as I am concerned... no words needed for this one LOL

I wish there were more of those. They look dope.

I considered this pretty epic just due to it's height, can't recall a pole mounted siren being any higher than this..... can't imagine it is all that loud in town, probably can hear it 2 towns away though LOL

I'd say this one is a candidate in my book.
(Granted, the power plant is coal-fired, but still...)

Thanks for posting the EOS from Irving Texas. I purchased two of them from Irving. This picture may be one of mine? Can anyone help me set up a driver for them? I understand 7 possible tones and a west minster chime is available

I got some to add when I saw the back of ASC.

I want that allertor

I consider these "epic" because I actually thought to take the pics at the time.
This siren was about 2 years old when I took these pics in 1980.



This siren is still at Lake Highlands High School in Dallas. The blower is sitting up on metal channels
now. That was done when the siren was moved about 100 feet from it's original spot about 10 years ago.

I found this photo while browsing through images on Google. I think this is pretty epic due to the Thunderbolt hovering over the technician. This picture was from back when Omaha Nebraska had a system of Thunderbolt sirens. They were replaced back in 2002 with ASC T-128 sirens due to failures and malfunctions.
