Rip that 3T22. Atleast it got to sound one last time before getting taken by the tornado. Pure dedication! It can still be used, but the horns are screwed.
@@bengalsfan04 Although both visually identical, The 3t22 came equipped with special valves in the top and bottom portions of the siren. These valves or "solenoids" can reciprocate open and closed to produce an alternating high and low tone similar to an old British police siren. This is usually reserved for fire calls or prison escapes. The 3t22 can also create a "pulse" signal which involves both of the aforementioned valves opening and shutting at the same time to produce a sound similar to a Morse dash. IIRC, the pulse signal warned people to expect Fallout from an atomic attack; Although I could have gotten British and American civil air raid procedures mixed up in that last one. The method to differentiate from the two is to look for small yellow boxes neat the top and bottom of the siren, those are the solenoid motors which indicates a 3t22. (Okay. no more edits, I swear.)
@@lilclacla1610 did you see that thing its smashed its not really vintage its just an old loud piece of scrap metal they have plenty of more out there in the world
I feel sorry for the 3T22 getting blown over, however it did warn people to take cover. That's all it matters. Edit: It's just a statement I guess. Edit 2: Guys, I'm just trying to say that the 3T22 was doing a good job protecting everyone, and that's what matters.
Good on him! Siren should get new horns and cones, and should be put back up! Maybe a new control box, having one where you have to hold the button isn't the best.
The city replaced it But on the bright side im pretty sure it went to a colector who sure cares about it more than the city Also glad the fireman is okay.
