I don't want to hijack this thread, but I do have a question about this horn. I noticed in the Busy Bee catalog, the dimensions of this horn are about the same as an Edison. Did Edison and Columbia get these horns from the same manufacturer or did they make their own? With the same dimensions, were there lawsuits going back and forth? I know there are slight difference between the Columbia and Edison 10" conical horn. Are there any differences between the Edison and Columbia 14" horns?

Harvey,
I can't answer that i really don't know. The Edison is longer with a smaller bell.
