The ones I worked with were by the same company, but they had a bell, mounted on the top.
Up here in Washington, SRO really liked that version. They were in most of their booths I worked in. As the film diameter got smaller (and the reel started turning faster), the alarm would start going "click, click, click...", eventually getting to the point where the hammer would actually hit the bell... "ding, ding, ding, ding,"... louder, louder... then eventually stopping. It was a sequence that allowed the projectionist more lattitude to gauge how long he had before changeover. As with the "arm on the film" alarms though, shipping reels screwed up the timing... going off far earlier than with larger-hubbed house reels.
As I recall, a very reliable & trouble-free alarm.
