Ellet High School was built in 1948 in Akron, Ohio. When the school was originally constructed, a pull rod fire alarm system was installed and automated with an IBM 4201-2 control panel using 8 inch, IBM single stroke bells. As time marched on, the school was expanded and the fire alarm system extended. The old IBM panel was eventually replaced with a Simplex 4208 control panel. The original IBM single stroke bells were left in place and tied into the newer Simplex control panel. The original 8 pull rod stations were also left in place in the event of an electrical outage. Sadly, the school was demolished in 2020. I am happy to report that shortly before demolition, the old fire alarm system was removed and saved for historical preservation.
