To
alert any of these U. S. Cities would require NOT MORE THAN 5* CHRYSLER
SIRENS According to the
most recent official census figures, these twenty-four cities have
populations ranging from 70,000 to 85,000. One of them has an area
of twenty square miles, or about 3500 people per square mile, while
another has only slightly more than five square miles with 13,760 people
per square mile. But despite their apparently widespread
differences, none of these cities would require more than five Chrysler
Sirens. This number would give each of them good basic protection
and a warning system second to none. The Chrysler Siren is
ideal for the small city as well as the large. First, because it
has its own power plant, the Chrysler Siren can be operated from
virtually any fixed or moving site. Second, the Chrysler Siren
functions both automatically and manually, enabling combined utility
remote-controlled operation with neighboring communities as well as
individual, manual operation for purely local use. Finally, the
180 horsepower Chrysler V-8 Industrial Engine develops a terrific 400
miles per hour blast, sufficient to send the "loudest warning ever
heard" for miles in every direction from the rotating siren.
No other warning
device compares for power, for mobility and - because of its tremendous
coverage - for economy. Help arrange a demonstration of the
Chrysler Siren in your community, write: Dept 24, Siren
Layout Service, Industrial Engine Division, Chrysler Corp.,
Trenton, Michigan. CHRYSLER AIR RAID
SIREN * Preliminary
estimate on proven performance of Chrysler Siren in other cities and
without consideration of topography of unusual noise factors.
