Alarm company in Boston area

[Robert L Bass]

There's an old, well-established alarm company in the greater Boston area that is know for their alarm system museum. A friend
asked me about them but I can't recall the name of the company. I do recall they have their own UL-listed CS and they've got a good
reputation.

Does anyone know who they are?

Bingo! That's the company. I got a call from a non-DIYer today. He wanted the name of a decent company in the Boston area. I met
the owner once during my *very* brief tenure as NEACC rep for CBFAA (I think I attended 2 or 3 meetings and decided it wasn't worth
the effort). I've heard good things about them from a few ex-customers of theirs over the years.
Thanks.

Wayne's one of the "good guys".

While we're on the museum subject... several years ago (probably 10) there
was a GREAT book on the history of alarms, I bought a copy at NBFAA meeting
then gave it to someone and never got it back. It had great photos of really
old stuff. Anyone know the title of the book?

I've read a couple of good ones through the years also, but can't
remember the titles. You might try looking for something about Edwin
Holmes. He's credited with inventing the burglar alarm. However I
think it was actually someone by the name of Paris (?) who submitted
the first drawings for patent. Holmes probably just had more of a
reputation as an inventor and was able to exploit it better.

Augustus Pope invented the first burglar alarm.
Al Gore invented the internet.
Cosmo Kramer invented the manssiere (known as the Bro).

Yes. It's called "The Rojas Garage: Part I"

It is titled "The History of the Alarm Industry". Sounds to simplistic but I
believe that is the title. Ralph Sevinor, I believe is the owner of Wayne in
Boston, is the one that has put together and maintains the museum along with
a couple of other old timers. Charlie Darsch (sp) from System Sensor is
another one involved. Either would know the exact title of the book since
they are both long time NBFAA supporters. Ralph does make arrangements to
display the items at special events if anyone needed such an attraction.
