Just
23 CHRYSLER AIR RAID SIRENS . . . To Alert an Entire City the Size of
Cleveland
IN SECONDS . . .
an entire city of nearly 1,000,000 people spread out over a seventy-five
square mile area can be warned of impending danger. And if the
city were spread out in the same manner as Cleveland, Ohio, a
remote-controlled system of just twenty-three 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 be operated manually, independent of any system, from a fixed
location or from a moving truck or boat. The mighty 180
horsepower V-8 Chrysler Industrial Engine powering the Chrysler Siren
enables it to develop 138 decibels of sound, 100 feet from its throat.
Under favorable conditions this shrill voice can be heard anywhere
within an eight-mile circular area. In plotting effective
coverage, Chrysler Siren Layout Engineers take into consideration the
varying intensities of normal urban noises which must be overcome.
