Typo? Or were we just spelling it wrong?

On ASC's website, they say that they produced the 'Screemer.' Is that right?

So does an alerter scream, or an allertor screem? Perhaps their ad manager majored in creative spelling.

If they made sirens for the Pacific theatre in WWII, maybe that photo of the cone-shaped siren being installed in Pearl Harbor was an ACA siren.

I think it is pretty neat how they support all the old sirens still. :)

So that is possibly a vintage ACA.Do you think it is probably a precursor to the Cyclone?

It looks more like a Hedberg Super Siren of around 3-5 horsepower.

Here is a dual-headed, apparently two tone version of this siren. I found it somewhere online but couldn't find it again, so apologies for the lack of citation. It is located in Soledad, California.
