Guest Jlo Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Hi, Was in one of the older blockbusters today (as a customer) and noticed an Secom engineer taking over an old //.National Installer.// system. What supprised me is the //.National Installer.// sytem had the modern yellow //.National Installer.// bell box outside. As the engineer was dispantling the old system the bell box started ringing. It was a traditional bell! Do they still use bells or do you think the original //.National Installer.// engineer kept the bell of the original system and just replaced the cover with a modern //.National Installer.// bell box? Just wondered as I have not heard bells ringing for ages! All piezo sirens now. There is now a nice shiny Secom box up now and am sure that is a siren?

norman Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 The bell is still widely used @ //.National Installer.// and personally I think it has now become a more distinguishable noise to the sirens everywhere. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

Wooly-bobs Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Why were bells used in the 80's? Sirens were around, bells seemed to be more money... did the sound travel further without being louder?
