Now this siren is OVER 100 year old.
50HZ Type B, Nice recording
You can hear the 50hz rattling sound !
Turns out you are correct. These types of Type Bs are 1st Gens. They had a production run from 1918 to 1922, so I guess you could consider that WW1.
In Caldwell idaho there is a type b that looks similar to this one
Sounds like a sterling good job
Mostly I know that Norway has air horns instead of sirens like this.
Yes. This is nice
Nice job
For a sec i though it was 3d printed lol
How the hell did this get to Norway!?!?! What’s this thing’s port? I know it’s 50hz but it still sounds a tad underpowered

It has been used as a fire siren at a silicon plant for about 100 years. it has 15 ports and not very powerful motor, 2-3 horsepower.
Motor refurbished?

I think there is dual tone on some other generations, but have only seen 15/15 on Generation 1 as this is

@@oklol30 they aren't 16/16. Type Bs came in 15/15 and I think 9 or 10 port. They also made these early ones in a dual sided dual tone config, with what was probably a 9 or 10/15 on both sides (15/10/10/15??)
