The photos didn’t show up due to how they were tagged, but I was able to see them by copying and pasting the URLs into my browser.
Pretty neat stuff, though!
As for the rectangular Simplex horn/strobes still in production, that is true. However they use the same horn sounder as the TrueAlert horn/strobes do!
Two TrueAlerts side by side. Most of them have one horn/strobe and one remote strobe, but this one was two horn/strobes.
A horn/strobe and two 2098 test stations.

There was also a 4010 annunciator in the front entrance.
At a hospital parking garage:
A single-action 2099
A 2901-9838 on a 2903 strobe plate.
That was only a fraction of the alarms in the hospital. Most of the alarms in the parking garage were 2901-9833’s on 2903 plates, and the pulls were 4251-20’s or 2099-97**'s (the early 2099’s that look like 4251’s). The indoor part of the parking garage has the single-action 2099’s and 4903 speaker/strobes. The main hospital has dual-action 2099’s for pulls and a mix of 2902-9711’s on 4905+4904 strobe plates, 4903 speaker/strobes, and one 2902-9711 on a 4903-9105 plate. The detectors were a mix of TrueAlarm smoke detectors (old and new), one TrueAlarm heat, and one thick-based simplex smoke that looks like this:

At a shopping plaza:
A flush-mounted Gamewell fire alarm box.
Another coded box. This one was made by a company called Narrington Signal.
