Long Beach Horn Noon Test

This is a re-creation of the old noon test in Long Beach , NY. The horns in Long Beach were decommissioned decades ago so I brought mine back to town for a 40th reunion of when my engine company took on the logo "Suicide Squad", which it still carries today.
The Noon test was two blasts of all the horns (there were 3 throughout the city) each day at 12 pm. I'm using the Gamewell Type B Diaphone, same type as was used in the city from about 1920 until the late 80's.

It would be cool if you did it on a ship or something, even though its a fire horn.

I’m surprised it was 38 pounds I thought it would be heavier

[@captfxco]

All the weight is in the piston end. The copper projector is only a few pounds.
