Non-360 Quadrens?

First post on this forum! I had a question regarding ACA Quadrens. Obviously there's the well known 360 degree Quadren in Mt. Prospect, but I was wondering if there were any documented non-360 degree Quadrens out in the wild? Not sure how prevalent Quadrens were, especially ones that utilized their modular functionality. If this is a duplicate question, my apologies!

No. So far, none have been documented. Only the regular ones in Mount Prospect exist.

There's another Quadren in a Southern State (I want to say either Kentucky or Tennessee) that's on a large manufacturing plant.

Where did you hear about this? If you can find the place where you found this info, maybe we could pinpoint the location?

I haven't heard of any Quadrens at Kingsport. There are two yellow P-50s mounted on top of buildings in Kingsport, as well as a WPS-2806 near the Eastman Employee Recreation Area, but no Quadrens, unless they just so happen to be "buried" somewhere in the plant and can't clearly see them on Google Earth/Maps. However, until I see evidence, I don't think there are any Quadrens there.
P-50s are located at:
36°31'33.76"N, 82°32'30.02"W
36°32'50.02"N, 82°34'7.38"W
WPS-2806 is located at 36°31'53.67"N, 82°33'4.35"W

(36.5500078, -82.5690677)
This is one of two, and this one is also a 2-cell model.

It does look like a Quadren from the satellite view. Figures, it's buried in the plant and can't be seen in Street View.
This could very well be the third known Quadren to exist in the wild. Hopefully you are able to track down the other one at Kingsport.

I know the 4th one exists, and I even had the coords for it at one point, but they got lost somewhere. Next time I find them i'll post them on here.
