I had to restart my youtube channel so the first piece of new content is this short documentary on the twinsonic

It's funny to think that with those bars being the on the lion's share of vehicles back in the 70's and 80's... they would be almost completely useless on the road today. Almost as much as those Whelen/SoundOff beacons MSP insists on using.
I don't know about them being useless today, but they did have the aerodynamic properties of a brick. Not an issue when mounted on a tow truck or fire apparatus, but could be an issue on a patrol car. The AeroTwinsonic was a better design, combining the lighting arrangement of the Twinsonic into a far more aerodynamic design.
Revolving 60 watt sealed beam spotlight bulbs were and still are pretty darned effective.
Thank you for posting this video. It is absolutely great! How could anyone not like the old school beacons and lightbars.
Hey everyone, if you liked the video subscribe to the channel, My old one got hacked and I'm trying to rebuild the new one
The very first TwinSonic I remember seeing was an all red one on an ambulance. The ambo was a 1968 Superior / Cadillac combination coach that was originally equipped with red 17 series Beacon Ray in 1971, and the beacon was replaced with the TwinSonic in 1972.
Most of the TwinSonics I saw were on ambos or tow trucks.

Nice Video, straight forward without going to far off into the weeds. Which is something I am always fighting with when I make my videos.
