I wonder if there are any surviving specimens of that Australian rotating siren. That photo was taken in Jakarta, Indonesia, so perhaps other sirens exported from Australia are still in existence.
Hey, sorry I’m late. I live in Australia and would be willing to research this siren you are mentioning. If you could tell me the details of it I’ll happily do some research for you!

I found this picture of White Bear Lake's fire department. The picture was taken in the 1940s and you can clearly see an Erick siren on the water tower. It was then replaced by a 2t22.

I also found what looks like a Decot. this picture was taken in 1941. it was located on top of the St. Paul courthouse.

There is a vintage photo of a ACA Hurricane at the Davis-Besse Nuclear Plant in Oak Harbor, Ohio on Air Raid Sirens Wiki.

I'm surprised this hasn't been shared yet, but this link has some old photos of Grand Rapids' Chrysler sirens: https://grandrapidscivildefensehistory. ... aid-sirens
Chicago's spooky mods got me into all of this. You know the video.

We were always referring to those as 550ATs before. Am I missing something that proves otherwise? Ever since becoming a busy adult, I really don’t take the time to read through everything on this forum anymore. I was just 13 when I first joined this forum, and had more time on my hands as a teenager.
