High school class-change bell

The school I went to for my high school years would sound a tone over the PA system as an alternative to bells. The PA system appears to be Dukane, and is phone-based (the master clock system is a Simplex 6400.)

WTH kind of school bell is that?!?!?! our school bell almost gives me a heart attack if im not paying attention

[wileyk209zback]

@campqueen70 This is a more MODERN kind of school bell; it sounds over the intercom. All modern schools in my city built since 1998 use those tones, and the schools that often get renovated since the mid-to-late 1970s use them too (my middle school will be taking down their old bells this summer in favor of the tones during a renovation.)

That's a cool-looking speaker. Looks to be 1960s or 70s.

@Vinylrecordsneverdie Yep, it's a Dukane speaker from the late 1960s/early 1970s (the school was opened in 1971).
