[Joshie7797]

[webuiltthispacer1]

Isent that a call bell that thay use in shops?

[lcassell94]

what do you mean by a call bell? this bell was used as a door bell in someones house

[mjgriff74]

Just found one of those Gent's on Ebay. What tone was it set to?

[lcassell94]

alternating

[mjgriff74]

We had those bells throughout my infant/junior school and I used to be absolutely terrified of them going off for a fire drill. They were SO loud, especially echoing up the concrete corridors. Is that battle-ship grey in colour? I couldn't make out from your video. The school I attended was built in the 1960's and the bells were originals, still in situ and used as the fire bell today infact. I live next to the school now and hear them clearly when they have a drill. Poor kids! lol

[lcassell94]

HA HA LOL i used to be EXACTLY the same!!!! terified

[mjgriff74]

What notification devices were used in your schools? Bells were all there was when I was there.

[lcassell94]

We had gent conventional alarm sounders.12511-52's they were and were very loud. it was quite an old school so the classrooms/corridoors were very big which meant that the sounders echoed aswell.

[mjgriff74]

Do you have a picture of those sounders? I'm not up on all the model numbers. The only sounders I remember from the 80's were large square black ones with like a silver cone in the middle. If you're from the UK and watch Waterloo Road, you can see them in that.

[zanders247]

U could connect it to ur ctec panel for external sounder.

[lcassell94]

lol it brings back memories when i used it on the ctec a couple of weeks ago. It nearly burnt it a couple of times and made it go funny and cat wierd. when i get my new panel at christmas ill hook it up then

[Polinio09]

[Polinio09]

how old is that 1??????

[lcassell94]

about 15-20 years old.

[MircomFan]

Is that an edwards bell?

[lcassell94]

i think its made by friedland..not sure.

[forde52]

@lcassell94 by the looks of it its either friedland or a really old gent bell, weve got some of them in my school and there

gent

[lcassell94]

well i actually was wondering about that because ive seen alot of these bells be named both gent and friedland, so not sure, it is very old.

[forde52]

yeh

[mjgriff74]

Those bells were made by Friedland, you're right.
