History
In 1971, Space Age introduced the first visual notification appliance, the AV32 light plate. They used relabeled Federal Vibratone 450D's for their series of 2DCD horns, which were often used with the AV32. These would also be used with horns made by other companies, generally Wheelock, Federal Signal, Faraday or Simplex models. Along with the AV32, they also introduced the V33 remote light, for situations where a retrofit would not be possible or no audible appliance was necessary. Sometime in the late 80's, Space Age introduced strobe versions of the AV32 and V33. Instead of using a dim incandescent light, it used a xenon strobe with a clear lens. The VA-series notification appliances were introduced in 1994, and ultimately replaced the AV32 series, which continued to be made until 1997. However, the V33 continued to be manufactured for general signaling purposes, and was replaced in 2006 by the Guardian Light.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I believe that in the history of art and of thought there has always been at every living moment of culture a “will to renewal.” This is not the prerogative of the last decade only. All history is nothing but a succession of “crises”Mof rupture, repudiation and resistance.... When there is no “crisis,” there is stagnation, petrification and death. All thought, all art is aggressive.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
“All things are moral. That soul, which within us is a sentiment, outside of us is a law. We feel its inspiration; out there in history we can see its fatal strength.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“My good friends, this is the second time in our history that there has come back from Germany to Downing Street peace with honour. I believe it is peace for our time. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. And now I recommend you to go home and sleep quietly in your beds.”
—Neville Chamberlain (1869–1940)
