Model A's as part of outdoor warning system?

Here is one on the front of the Detroit, Oregon, fire hall (pop. 250):




This is Wolf Creek's siren array:

I can't take credit for this but I do remember a while back (maybe on the old board) someone took a few pictures of Diablo Canyon Nuclear Generating System's warning sirens. One of the sirens that was pictured was a Model "something"; probably a model D attached to a power/telephone pole and used to warn a ranch out in the middle of nowhere away from the coverage of other sirens. The radio controller box and battery backup/inverter system was larger than the siren itself.

It was an electronic FS SelecTone. I remember it to, but I don't think it's on the Siren Archive.

Don't forget, another small siren was the model 1. I've only seen a few installations of these as actual sirens, but they were used as actual outdoor warning sirens. Here's some more pics, the last one is a model 1:

Yeah I like the model 1 rarest of all really. I know sirens for cities has a video of them testing a model 1. Another thing is the "let's face it" civil defense film there is a model A sounding.

... This is Wolf Creek's siren array:

For the cost of three or four small sirens, whose outputs do not add, would it not be.tter to get just ONE larger siren?

[Gents']

Does the cost of three or four small sirens add up to 1 large one?

The subject of that picture looks like a makeshift substitute for something larger.

If I remember correctly, the sound output of the Model 1 was not a whole lot less that the Model 2. It had a 3,450 RPM motor and 8 or 9 ports. With the slower rise and fall rate, it had a more of a "large siren sound" compared with the Model 2.
