About the sound
Early railway level crossings had a flagman in a nearby booth who would, on the approach of a train, wave a red flag or lantern to stop all traffic and clear the tracks. Manual or electrical closable gates that barricaded the roadway were later introduced. These electric signals and electric gates were manufactured in the ÅSSA factory and delivered to the Swedish Railway system.
Max sound level: 89 dB, 4 meters distance
Åtvidabergs railroad switch and signal factory (Åtvidabergs Spårväxlar & Signalfabriks AB)
In short the factory name was ÅSSA. It was founded 1907 but got its current name 1932. The main production was railroad switches and railroad signal systems. ÅSSA closed 1987.
An early car production started in 1911 and the only surviving car can be seen at the ÅSSA museum which is in the same building as the factory once started.
