| I've seen a Code 3 LP lightbar with the \"Galls Traffic Buster\" name on the endcap. I didn't know they (Galls) was putting their name on lights way back then. | |

| [quote:3574fc8148=\"Clarence H\"]The bar is bullt on the code 3 SD platform, at was sold as a \"private label\"bar for Galls. It had either the belt driven sealed beam rotators, or the independant rotators like the code 3 model. | |
That dates all the way back to Gall's catalogs being about 20-30 pages, printed in black & white on newsprint paper!!!! They marketed the LP6000 the same way and the earlier Code 3 sirens....

| Definetely made by Code 3 and labelled for Galls. They did the same thing for Dominion Automotive in Canada, except they put 2 rotators side by side and a V mirror against the speaker section. They were quite effective for their time and many smaller FD's still have them in service

Code 3 used both; and was that way in the price books. The S795 were standard, but you could order the bars with the 55 watt H-1's Galls has been famous for getting their stock bars with the H-1 bulbs.

Actually my bar has both bulbs. The outer rotators have the clipped in H-1s and the inboard ones have the 795s
