| The front
of
the gong has a very faded sticker that would've had the date the bell
was made, where it may have been originally installed at. Unfortunately
it has seen better days. |

| Two bolts
can be found on the back of the bell. I assume this holds the inner
workings together. |
The back
of
the bell features the "Safetran Systems Corp" logo on the back as well
as the Hawker "Siddeley" branding etched on the top right of the logo.
The same logo can be found on some Safetran 12 inch light frames
including my Safetran 12x20 lights. |

| The
internal
components of the bell can be found inside of the gong. The inner
workings appear to be very similar to the ones found on Westinghouse
hybrid bells out in Australia. |
The
positive and negative terminals can be found beside the B-Pack with the
color coded wires. |
The
B-Pack
was made by Safetran, and are no longer made by them, but replacements
can be found, but are very expensive sadly. The packs are known to go
bad which is the main cause of these bells dying. |
Another
look at the B-Pack. |

| The
electromagnent in which acts as a solenoid for the clapper at the
bottom. |
Closer
look at the electromagnent with the part number on it. |
Closer
look
at the clapper which strikes the gong on the bell when in action. This
is where the bell gets its unique sound from. |
A look at
the inside of the gong with a lot of rust on the inside. This will be
cleaned up in the future. |
