[edit] Logo Section Necessary?

I went ahead and worked a bit on the grammar here, but this entire section looks like fancruft to me. Is a detailed description of the logo's evolution really necessary for an encyclopedic article on this siren? Seems to me like one could find this information on one of the siren enthusiasts' websites. --Goldrushcavi 05:28, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Who else would read this article other than Siren enthusiasts? Maybe somebody from Federal Signal. I have found little to no info on the logo from the enthusiast websites over the last few years. Don't worry about it!

Same people that would read any other article on Wikipedia. Be sure to check out Wikipedia:fancruft - from that page, "Fancruft is a term sometimes used in Wikipedia to imply that a selection of content is of importance only to a small population of enthusiastic fans of the subject in question." Same reason I wouldn't include a full list of credits on a TV show's Wikipedia entry, but might if I had a webpage about that show.--Goldrushcavi 05:01, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thunderbolt Logo

Does anybody have any pictures or stills of the various Thunderbolt decal logos from various years? It could enhance the logo section by putting a "face" with a "name."

[edit] Cities and Other Towns...

Where is this section going? Shall we just go ahead and dump in Thunderbolt's entire customer list? Rklawton 14:01, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Grammar Change

"By the late 1950s, the manufacturer deleted the grille design in favor of a protective black mesh screen." Changed "deleted" to "removed". "Delete" sounds more like the designer used a computer to delete the design. StonedChipmunk 01:05, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rotator RPM's

Rotator RPM's are 2, 4, and 8...kinda hard to have 4 settings when there are only 3 sleeves! Changed

[edit] Video links

The following links are Youtube videos of this siren being tested in Honolulu, Hawai‘i. [1][2]. User:XLinkBot complained about them, so someone should review them and put them back after the entry in the towns list for Honolulu. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.235.159.202 (talk) 22:28, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
