I’ve seen a handful of rare alarms in the wild, particularly at MSU Mankato, though most of the original systems no-longer had the horns. I’ve made a post about this before.
I also made a post in Fire Alarms in Buildings 2.0 about a nursing home with 4050-80s and Faraday Type 129 horn plates.
Here are some devices I found longer ago.
Faraday/Simplex flush-mounted horns in a four-story apartment complex built in 1978. (c.2023)
There used to be Faraday 10123-1 pulls, but they were sadly replaced with BG-12s a couple years ago.
Honeywell chevrons and semi-flush horns in two 1960s quadplex apartments (c. 2018)
I’m not really sure what to call those kinds of apartments, but they’re basically split-level apartment buildings with four apartments each. I also saw a Couch FACP in one of the maintenance rooms, but I don’t know where that picture is, unfortunately…
Edwards 360 flush-mounted horns in the 1962 addition of a catholic school (c.2020)
Simplex bells and interesting break-glass boxes in Northbridge Mall, Albert Lea, MN, built 1987 (c. 2020)
