Yeah, honestly, until the admins stop allowing bull like this to be posted, I'm done here. All you kids do is lie and make stuff up. None of this crap would have been allowed in the old days. Current moderation will delete the thread if you lambast stupid kids the way we used to, or even so much as...
It's a reentrant horn. Think of a very long straight horn (like the PA horns commonly mounted alongside sirens in Japan) that has been folded twice to make it more compact while maintaining the same effective length. There's a nice visualization here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horn_loudspeaker#P...
Nice! I had a siren under the hood of my '91 Camaro convertible. I took it back out when I sold it but left the pull switch in the dashboard so people could scratch their heads about it. :lol: Stupid, stupid thing it was to sell that car when I got something more sensible for city driving. I was poo...
I wonder how much horsepower and torque the siren can handle...
The Chrysler-Bell Victory Siren was powered by a 140hp in-line 8 cylinder engine, and the Chrysler Air Raid Siren a 180hp V8, for what it's worth. That doesn't tell you what it *could* handle, though.
The pictures are still around at least, not sure if the siren in Zhangzhou still works. I can't believe it! Thank you so much for finding these. It had been so long that it felt like I was recalling a dream I had, but sure enough, there they are. The same sirens from those long-lost video clips. Be...
I thought for a moment someone had really found a Chrysler-Bell Victory Siren. *Sigh...* Fix your post. Maybe 15 years ago - just going from loose memory - there were known to be two Chrysler-Bells still in China that the US sent over there. The only two known to remain. One had since been fitted wi...
I would like to add, if you are having any trouble with that control unit: If you can trace out what is going on with the in-tact wiring to the best of your ability, I could take a crack at figuring out what to do with the rest of the cut wires to get this thing operating. A large part of my job inv...
Neat! I'm more fascinated by that old open-style contactor. Can't quite tell what's going on there. Looks like what appears to be a pair of normally-closed contacts (that's odd) and another pair in parallel on the other end underneath... something? Have ya reverse-engineered the schematic yet? Curio...
