AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The first acoustic signaling systems appeared on horse-drawn carriages as early as the second half of the 19th century, even before the automobile.
The electromechanical device we know today was patented in 1908 by American inventor Miller Reese Hutchison. The Newark-based Klaxon company acquired the patent and began commercialization, giving the device its common name that is still in use today.
The horn like the one in the photo works thanks to an electromagnetic coil that makes a steel diaphragm vibrate, amplifying the sound through the resonant bell. The two-tone models emit two different notes for a louder and more distinctive sound.
The use of the horn has become essential for road safety, allowed mainly to prevent accidents in traffic or environmental conditions that require it.
These particular horns are universal 12V or 24V models, often used as replacements or for tuning a wide range of vehicles—from cars to trucks and motorcycles—thanks to their powerful sound.
The photos are an integral part of the description. Tested and working.
Shipping costs include careful packaging and tracking, ensuring fast delivery times.
