Wow does this ever bring back memories! I had the privilege of growing up with at least 3 buildings back in the 90’s that had this exact system - 2 malls plus a movie theatre. I also worked in a nursing home which used this as well and got to see a full demonstration back then as to how this worked. Exactly as you have here with one exception; they all employed Adaptabel single-stroke bells instead of vibrating. When first stage was activated they sounded like this; “Ding (pause) ding (pause) ding.” Then once the system entered second stage the bells would all sound in a march time pattern like this; “DIng Ding Ding Ding Ding” until system silenced or 2 stage acknowledged button pushed(back to first stage) If you listen to the 800% sped up part of the video it sounds exactly like the Adatabels in second stage. Not sure exactly when Edwards stopped making the 10” Adatabels but I can confirm that after 1964 they were available in Canada as single-stroke only.

It was fun getting this thing all initially built and working! I remember us trying to lift that thing onto the table to bench test it lmao. I believe actually that these panels (at least the Mark IIs) were still around when the ESA-2000 was in production, so there was a brief period where both were still being sold at the same time!

Neat vid, I have a few 2-stage pulls myself; the UL version of yours, a Cerberus-Pyrotronics MS-53, and a (pre-Honeywell acquisition) Gamewell M46-30. I haven’t seen many 2-stage systems here in the states, but the one I did see was a Johnson Controls branded Notifier system. It had 2-stage addressable JBG-10L pull stations. I’m not sure if they were custom or not since the only proof of a 2-stage device was a mention on the Fire-Lite data sheet, but that indicates the 2-stage devices are hex reset.

Have you seen a system where the audible signal is coded. I'm not talking about a coded system, I'm talking about an addressable system, but each zone has it's own code on the horns. If the alarm sounded occupants were instructed to listen to the code. If the code was for your zone, you were to evacuate. If the code was for another zone, you were to await instructions. In the event of an actual fire you would be instructed to evacuate...possibly to another location inside the large building. I was in that building when there was an actual fire. Fire alarm sounded, I woke up and awaited instructions, a bit later a PA announcement was made to evacuate to the opposite side of the building from the fire.

I doubt that, anyway, because printed circuit boards didn't come out until later. Stuff was weirdly soldered together just with stiff wires and protective sheaths before PCBs came out.

@@HelloKittyFanMan I think Nic was saying the basic circuit design dates back to the 1940s, not that the exact design is that old. AFAIK some of the functionality (like ground fault detection) uses transistors and I don't think they'd have confidence in that until at least the late 1960s. And unrelated to that, AFAIK printed circuit boards _were_ around in the late 1940s, just not nearly as common as they became in the 1950s.
