GPO / POST OFFICE SERVICE
WB 1000


The GPO/BT Alarm By Carrier (ABC) system, was known internally as the Carrier System WB1000, developed in the late seventies, and marketed as a means of extending burglar and fire alarms to central monitoring points.  It replaced the rather unreliable 'Home Office' alarm panels installed at police or fire stations.

The system was deployed in East Anglia in 1978.
