Just 13 CHRYSLER AIR RAID SIRENS To Alert an Entire City the Size of Atlanta

IN SECONDS . . . a great city like Atlanta, Georgia, with more than 330,000 people and an area of thirty-seven square miles, can be warned of impending danger.  A remote-controlled system of just thirteen Chrysler Air Raid Sirens could do the basic job.  Compare this number with the necessary quantity of any other warning device and you will understand the importance of selecting Chrysler . . .  the siren sounding the "loudest warning ever heard."

Smaller communities, too, will find the Chrysler Siren ideal for their protection . . . because, thanks to its own individual power plant, the Chrysler Siren can also be operated manually, independent of any system, from a fixed location or from a moving truck or boat. 

Powered with its own mighty 180-horsepower Chrysler V-8 Industrial Engine, each Chrysler Siren delivers up to 173 decibels of sound, ranging from a deep-throated roar to a shrill scream.  Under favorable conditions this sound carries four miles in every direction from the rotating Siren.

Chrysler Siren Engineers stand ready to assist any community in planning its protection.  For additional information on the Chrysler Siren and the protection required for your community, write: Dept. 112, Siren Layout Service, Industrial Engine Division, Chrysler Corporation, Trenton, Michigan.
