Yup, that's Speigletown's HOR. Here is an audio recording of it:

They are pretty uncommon, but there are quite a few in New York State, since their factory was located in Stapleton, NY (Borough of Staten Island, New York City.) NYC had hundreds of SiroDrone's at one point, as well as some of the larger HOR Super Sirex's.

Ah yes, I found a couple of those recently. Here's one of them. The Model 5 has been removed since that street view was taken, but you can see how much it dwarfs the Siro-Drone. Were there different sizes? I remember hearing that it was 5HP, but the ones I've seen look too small.

Nice! I love the size comparison of the model 5 and the siro-drone.

They aren't all that small. The one near here is about the same size as a Model 5.
