The Calgary General Hospital was a name given to four hospitals in Calgary. The only system known is the Centennial Wing, which had 5 floors. User Simplex NimrodES has two pull stations and a bell from the wing.
Former System Specifications
FACP
The Centennial Wing was protected by a two-stage Edwards 6500 system. The system did march time in general alarm. The panel was installed in 1977 when this wing was added. It would continue to do its job until the demolition in October 1998.
Notification Appliances
The notification appliances were Edwards 333D 6" "Adaptabel" single-stroke bells. At least most of the bells were original, there were probably some from the mid 1990 generation. User Simplex NimrodES has an original bell from this wing that he got from a retired firefighter in 2018, who salvaged it in 1998.

Initiating Devices
Pull Stations
The pull stations were Edwards 270-GAO from 1977 with the old shield E logo and no FIRE ALARM at the top. User Simplex NimrodES has two of the original pull stations from this wing! Both work and have their original glass rods.
