| The C1 1/2 or most commonly known as the '''Model 3''', not to be confused with the C2 1/2 ([[Model 5]]) which had a 15 inch rotor, was a 3 horse power, mechanical, omni-directional siren produced by [[Federal Signal Corporation]] part of the Fedelcode lineup. The '''Model 3''' is a step down from the [[Model 5]], but people still manage to get confused with the two despite the Model 3 being pretty uncommon. The rotor is 13 inches in diameter which came in 2 different port ratios: 12 and 8-port single tone only. No dual tone versions of this siren were available due to the Model 2T already filling this role. The siren was housed in a very simple enclosure that resembles an air vent found on building roofs. The C1 1/2 was the least sold model, only marginally louder than the [[Model 2]], which caused it to be not as successful, and was discontinued due to lack of demand as the [[Model 2]] outsold it.
