'''American Signal Corporation''' is a [[civil defense siren|outdoor warning siren]] company in America founded in 1942. The company started off from the early "Biersach and Niedermeyer" company, whom's name continued until 1990. |
|||
==History== |
|||
The Company was called Biersach and Niedermeyer Company in 1873, and started to make Outdoor Sirens in 1942. The company was then called ACA (Alerting Communicators of America) in the late 1970s. The company made outdoor warning sirens since 1942, starting with the Mobil Directo. Starting around 1960, they branched off into other designs, including the 10 HP. Banshee, the 2.5 HP. through 10 HP. Screamer, the 50 HP. Cyclone (which was also used in other countrys) among other types. In the 1980s, they decided to make the "Penetrator" line of sirens, which was a substantial improvement over the previous types they built. |
