All
the wear-and-tear that's seen in the current condition photographs
occurred while on the high school roof. Understand that this equipment,
in Pittsburgh as elsewhere, was taken out of service in the 1970's.
These sirens would have been sold for scrap and/or discarded long ago if
they didn't weigh 3-tons. Since most were high atop a tower or roof the
cost of removal was more than their surplus value and so they sat and
were left to languish in place.
