March 1963 Ad for the Federal 176. It is already in use per the ad and indicates it was a combination of Red and White lights. But note in Pennsylvania, California and Virginia you can not use white lights in your beacons.

1958 is the year for the New SUPER Beacon Ray #174! A four-way 360 degree revolving warning light. But it does not revolve continuously, it revolves through 95 degrees, reversed to produce an "off beat" irregular flash of increased intensity. The first 4 Lamp beacon it revolves slower.

What were your 1969 Choices in Sirens from Federal? The Model 28, heavy duty model with a deep single tone. The 77G with it's distinctive double-tone, simultaneously produces high and low pitch. The Q-2 Loudest most powerful and most penetrating. The C4 super powerful Characterized by it's deep powerful tone. The EG a compact, all purpose siren where high volume is not essential. Finally the Pulsator that is Powerful, compelling, distinctive and different.

In 1909 and 10, the Siren was coming in to use on automobiles as a horn. Known as the "Mile Ahead" electric horn the SirenO was used on many cars of the day. I found an article where it became such a nuisance, that some areas passed laws to ban them.

I like how Federal takes a jab at PA, CA, and VA for not using clear/red signaling on their emergency vehicles.
"You don't know how well this works! It's so obvious to everybody else but you guys! What's your beef with clear/red, mate? Get with it!"

The last invention of the 60's that I have is a design by Robert J. Forestal, and the Dura Corporation of Southfield, Michigan. His design of a "platform for carrying emergency signals having a lazy-tong structure". The platform is controlled by an electric motor and is mounted on the roof of an emergency vehicle. Actually quite an ingenious idea, if not a truly practical one. He notes that when emergency vehicles are on scene, the lights are often obstructed by other vehicles, and are hard to see from a level plane from other cars. Also the spotlights and alley lights are of little use for scene lighting at roof height. This platform would allow the lights to be elevated to increase their visibility and to light the scene better. This platform system was used in Air and Light trucks in many fire services vehicles.

STAFF EDIT: This is now the official Patent and Ad section. Catalogs and manuals should go in those stickies.

Skulldigger (Kelly) and I have been working on locating patents for some of our favorite vintages lights. He has found quite a few and I have began printing some on parchment style cardstock. They turn out pretty neat and add a unique touch to my light room. Pictured below are the results and some of my vintage ads that I have displayed. The ads are originals taken from old magazines; purchased from eBay member "gunfixer".

Abstract​

A warning light assembly is provided that includes a simple drive train for accomplishing an 180° or more oscillation of a light beam. By advantageously utilizing a speed-reduction mechanism, a transmission for converting rotary motion to oscillating motion and a coupling for multiplying the angle of oscillation, the drive provides an inexpensive and rugged enabling design the warning light assembly to oscillate a light beam through angles heretofore unattainable.

A flashing signal light that includes a rotatably mounted signal generator formed of a light transmitting material and a non-rotatable source of light adapted to direct light into the generator along its axis of rotation. A pyramid shaped prism is associated with the generator having its apex positioned along the axis of rotation. The prism surfaces intercept the light directed into the generator, split the light into one or more beams and direct the beams towards the exit face of the generator in a plane that is substantially perpendicular to the axis of rotation.
