Looking through patents again, and found this Alertronic patent. Anyone know what patent Alertronic model this is?

It appears to have 32 horns, and two drivers per horn, meaning it has 64 separate drivers! Each driver set also appears to be tilted, to make room for wiring and/or more drivers.

Patents don't always evolve into an actual siren. take for example, the WS-2500, of which no known examples exist and no real pictures either. a lot of it is a concept of a possible idea that may evolve into an actual product in the future.

That would be what I assume was going to become the RE-3200. Of course, never happened.

Supposedly there is a WS-2500 near Indian Cave State Park in Missouri. https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewe ... wYm95xxoJY

This has been brought up time and time again, and there has been almost 0 evidence given each time. It's extremely likely that the WS-2500 never existed, and was a prototypical siren. The fact that the spec sheet for the Power Plant said 2500 was likely a misprint.
