41a Old 41A control, one zone, with shunt lock

It is almost a piece of artwork. I'd love this in my collection

Yes I suspect the were from Shorrok, they were 41a shunt, 43a timer, 45 with zones etc

I was lucky enough to obtain a model 45 dating to the 1960s early 1970s. It was a shame it didn't work so I gutted it. Wish I didn't now as I probably could've gotten it to work again.

Does anyone recall in the 70s going into the police stations control rooms to work on the original direct lines to the police, seem to recall a large unit taking 10-20 modules, with red, green, amber lights on,, red for alarm, amber for line fault and green  for clear, along with a toggle switch to silence buzzer.

This was a private wire provided by BT direct from the police station to the protected premises.

Be great to see any photos if you have any

no,

 

however I went with the scouts to a police station visit in 1980's aged 10 or thereabouts

 

highlights where all the cool knifes handed in under an amnesty & learning the police could unwind after a hard day of forging paper ect... in their very own bar located on an upper floor.
