New Gadget Developed To Sound Disaster Warnings
A silent home warning device called Silent Sam is under development by Midwest engineers under contract with the Federal Civil Defense Administration. The plastic box plugs into a power line and remains quiet until authorities issue a warning, then buzzes or rings and may tune a radio to Conelrad. Field tests will install units in a community to gauge public reaction and determine alarm tones.
