Looks like an antenna. Thats a model that was made by Digitex in the late 80s. Works on the same principles as the Modulator. Its quite common in Silesia region. Where did you get this from? Obviously an antenna. You are most certainly incorrect... Here is a whole forum post filled with pictures of...

Brand new F-2s are available for half the price of a Model A, but both sirens are generally regarded as...

I guess then I we would need a belt drive since most motors are either 1500 or 3000RPM with a 50Hz grid. The siren would be mounted ho...
