An important
contribution to Civilian Defense, the NEW Chrysler Air Raid Siren
produces the loudest warning sound ever achieved for modern production.
Recent development of
a new 180 horsepower Chrysler Industrial V-8 Engine enabled Chrysler
engineers to produce power for a 3-stage compressor. Increased
pressure from this compressor drives air through 6 giant horns at 400
miles per hour, producing a sound of approximately 173 decibels!
This warning can be clearly recognized over a diameter of 3 miles under
normal conditions.
It is designed to fill
the pressing need for a positive signaling device for City and
Industrial air raid warning. Because it has self-contained
power it is independent of vulnerable central power systems.
One, or any number
Sirens may be remote controlled from a central control station if
desired. They may be operated without personnel being on or near
them. When in operation, the Siren makes one complete revolution
every minute.
These Sirens are
available only for Defense Warning Systems. They may be purchased
by Cities and Towns, Defense Plants, Airports, Military Installations
and other vital areas needing air raid protection.
