This was mentioned on page 51.
Down to a Thunderbolt chopper, still a few goofy flashlight-siren combos, and a Model L.

Sorry for the slight bump, but i just thought this T-128 had to be shared.

New sure if this has been mentioned before, but here is a fairly low 500AT in Bristol, TN. It really shows how big those beasts are.

Yes, that one was not only previously mentioned pertaining to its low mounting, but also recorded by a fellow board member a little over a couple of years ago.

Fairly low Model 5 with some pretty interesting stilt ladder things for a mount.

I know this is not the US, but I found a pretty low mounted FS modulator 1004 in Rotterdam, Netherlands: https://goo.gl/maps/eSMSXFExyzJ2 :mod:
Seen a: KM Europ, small Klaxon siren and a Gents' of Leicester "ahooga" horn.
Also a big fan of both Apollo and Protec fire alarms.

Dang! Even simple ear protection wouldn't be enough for blocking any of sound emitting from this low mounted 2T22A. And can you tell me why they chose to put the 2T22 siren on a fifteen to twenty foot pole? And was this college still there when this 2T22 was installed back in the fifty's? Or not. And when did California decided on discontinue all of there cold war Civil Defense sirens?
