petercts Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 One of the fist mass produced detectors to meet bs 4737 1971 that was not made for one of the big companies or that you did not have to buy direct in bulk and you could buy from this new thing called a wholesaler they cost so much each one had to be signed for and the empty box returned Most things in the late 70s had to be made in house even panels and out side bells, we even made door contacts reed switch glued on to an aluminium plate made in small batches with final assembly by the stores man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
