I'm now restoring my 3rd Castle Castings siren and I'm trying to work out the history on these...
The 3 Castle Castings sirens I have are all powered by Brooks-Crompton-Parkinson motors, which is part of Hawker-Siddeley.
The siren in this video is clearly powered by an older variant of Brooks motor, yet it's listed as a Carter&Co type 1H.
What I can't work out is the link between Castle Castings LTD and Carter&Co.
The rotor castings and rotor housings look EXACTLY the same on BOTH makes of siren

@StreetOrgans
Just had a look at the Brook Motors rating plate and it says : full load amps 7.5 with full load volts 346/440. Hope that also helps. I looked into the converters, but they are fairly pricey. This video of mine was taken at a local firm that deal with electric motors so they have a full 3 phase supply because I can't run it at home, so I just have to watch my video instead!

@Mrpyrofireworks. This siren shows 4/5 hp on the rating plate, which makes it a larger hp than a Gents. Is your siren in working order? Hope this info helps.

Sorry I meant 50hz!

Three phase/50kw, not sure what the voltage was, possibly 440v?
