What is the most mysterious siren?

Wed Jun 28, 2023 5:55 pm

I would say the AL-7200, as not much is known about it.

What do you think?

The B&M Compressed Air Siren. It's got a unique siren design as the rotor is connected to a fan where it's powered by compressed air. What I find interesting is the lack of units that exist today with the only known one in a museum.

Would you know if you would have a photo of it? Actually wonder if it’s possible to recreate it and considering probably the Patent long expired
Cheers and happy noisemaking!

That's a neat siren! I wonder how much air that took to run... I find it interesting that it came out of a Santa Fe yard - I imagine that ran on compressed air from a car maintenance shop or something.
