Both wrong. It's called a Super Quad, a 12-horsepower siren fire alarm, a variant of the model M. It has four rotors unlike most sirens. It's very rare because of its high maintenanceLukeH wrote: ↑Mon Jul 09, 2018 2:29 amOr possibly a prototype to the M seriesChicagosiren-hunters wrote: ↑Mon Jul 09, 2018 2:25 amCould that possibly be a prototype Quadruplex, just adding on shrouds simmilar to that of a Sterlng M??

FYI, these sirens were produced by Interstate Machine Products begining in 1916, and discontinued in 1918 in favor of the infamous Model M released in 1917. The 12HP superquad wasn't released until 1926, and it's reasoning for it's rarity today had nothing to do with maintenance. They're rare because they were ridiculously expensive for very little benefit over the traditional Model M.
