Horn

City horn is just for amusement

 

City horn gets the kids disappointed.
THEN hit the train horn..and laugh.

 

very true, and they don't appreciate the volvo horn either. They look fooled... They want me to pull not to push.

 

You cannot use that airhorn in quiet zones. you must have a city horn for that purpose. So help me I hever touched the #### thing with it's pathetic bleat that no one except DOT man ever hears during inspecition.

For train horns you need a large backup supply of air at 150 pounds per square inch. As in BIG tanks. A train horn will empty your stock primary and secondary in a short blat and that is that.

 

It is a sort of a retaliation weapon against those cutting you off or falling asleep. You get pissed off you shoot the sound at them.

 

It's the number one reason horns fail. In cars anyways. I've had to fix many switches in the steering to pass safety inspection when I was a mechanic. I stopped fixing when the airbag came out.

 

Make for a bad hair day with the bag exploding while testing horn circuit.

 

Train horns are fun. Not met a service guy yet that has not come into the waiting area complaining of ringing ears. Yes, you need an extra tank.

 

I worked with my uncle as a mechanic back in the day. At that time he worked a few years in the county fire department. Till the shop was relocated to the county maint building. He had an old coworker. Every time he got in front of one of the fire trucks. My uncle would blast the air horn. Poor guy always jumped and had to change his under roos.

 

Can anybody who is objective say anything good about a Volvo?
