I had the pleasure of knowing Charlie from EMTBravo and EMS.
This is not just a loss to his family and friends but also to the FIRE & EMS community.

Here is a YouTube Video of a Gamewell Diaphone Horn.
Turn the sound up nice and LOUD lol.

Long before our cool Portables, Pagers, IPage, CAD, Scanner Phone Apps, Etc the horns
would blow the rounds of the box that was pulled or a company call.
One great thing about this was NO DELAY! The minute the box was pulled the horns
would start blasting the box location.
I remember as a kid being at the Firehouse when a "General Alarm" as we called it
would come in. The truck would be out the door before radio dispatch or during it.
Peekskill FD and Ossining FD had Diaphone Horns. Anyone else?

Drove by the other day was a packed house. Cars parked all over the place! Can't wait to go up and get some grub.

Here's a picture of the number plate I described above. It's dark, but my flsah was giving me a hard time
If you find the right cog wheel where you can massage it to the number you want, a guy that's really good with a Dremel tool might be able to change the cogs for you. I would shy away from the guy in your house that says he can do it with a gasoline powered saw, but a guy that's really good with a whizzer saw might get away with it.

Thanks for all the feedback.....who transmits the horn codes the PD? Can 60 control do this as well?

For many years the City of Peekskill had Gamewell Fire Alarm Boxes including
Gamewell Tape Registers and Gong Bells in every Firehouse that would tap out the
rounds when a box when pulled.
We also had Gamewell Diaphone Horns. One was on top of the NYS Armory on Washington St.
and the other on top of the Peekskill Fire Patrol on Highland Ave.
The system was taken out of service in the mid 1990's.
I have a large collection of Gamewell Fire Alarm Boxes, a Bell and a Tape Register.
Some of my boxes date back to the late 1880's (Yes, I said 1880's) I have a lot of
newer ones too 1980's and 1990's.
Any fans on here of Gamewell Fire Alarm Boxes?
Please "Like" or Join my Facebook groups. A lot of photos and information.
