air horn

noun

Definitions

  1. Alternative form of airhorn.

    • For use with petrol-electric, and subsequently diesel-electric, vehicles, air horns were developed about 1918, and today they vary from single-note instruments to those producing as many as five chiming pitches.
    • At a later date in production, the Western Region requested that the two-tone air horns should be placed on the cab roof instead of behind the buffer beam, in order to increase audibility.
