....As far as the explosion goes, would this be along the same lines as a clutch exploding in a manual transmission during high r.p.m's such as in a racing environment.jerrylovessirens wrote: ↑Fri May 26, 2023 11:11 amProbably had a casting flaw. Decot had a large pit that he would lower each siren into for testing just for the this type of failure. Asc has a similar sound-proof enclosure

So we obviously know that nowadays it is E.D. Bullard, but something struck me as a bit weird here. If you look closely, you can CLEARLY see that it says: "W.D. Bullard". Could this be an error when it was written, or does this mean that it originally stood for something else?

Reminds me of the video where an STL-10 blew up during testing.

NOT MY VIDEO!
That's what I thought too - the sparks came from the conduit a few feet below the siren, not the siren itself, although it wasn't doing much better!
