Fire Alarms in Buildings (2.0)

Another possibility, is those alarms could be old Wheelock MTs. Maybe the Faraday installers put in Wheelock Signals and then switched to their own signals when the Siemens multi-tone horn was put in. I believe the only Faraday multi-tone horn had a clear strobe, and the alarms there did not have clear strobes. The Faraday installers also probably put in the Gentex GX-91s in. The Standard pulls and “Wheelock 7002ts” are probably the original devices. Apparently, the building is from the early 70s, according to my mom.

I believe Wheelock first started producing the 7001s and 7002s back in the early 70s. The alarms I am trying to identify are NOT 7001s, as I know those have the typical sized strobe. Also, the strobe on this alarm is on top. I am guessing they could be old Standard or Faraday horn/lights or horn/strobes. Did Standard or Faraday make a thinner version of the 7002 series during the 70s?
