The actual model designation of a given horn will have additional prefixes and suffixes as follows. Prefixes: R=improved horn bells with spiked back caps L=low profile manifold U=very low profile "universal" manifold. Suffixes: O=normal arrangement of bells from left to right is switched F=full openings in orifice dowel pins (0.125 inch) J=very narrow, tall manifold R=one or more bells reversed (turned backward) The designations can get quite complicated, and for the sake of simplicity, any S-3L with reversed bells is generally referred to as an S-3L-R. The S-3L was introduced in the early 1950's as competition for the Nathan M-3. It rapidly became one of the most popular 3-chime airhorns ever produced. The S-3L was used extensively by Santa Fe, Union Pacific, Milwaukee Road, Soo Line, Missouri-Kansas-Texas (MKT), Chicago & Northwestern, Kansas City Southern, Erie Lackawanna, Reading, and many others. Factory tuning is: 255, 311, and 440 Hz (approximately C, D#, A)
