ADT Transmitter Archives

ADT Transmitter Archives

The ADT Transmitter issues archived here are from the personal accumulation of an ADT / Tyco retiree. The collection consists of about 160 different issues and represents roughly 40% of the total issues published.

Starting with the 1937 issues, an index has been created of all subscriber names and cities mentioned in newsletter articles. ADT associate names are also included in the index when the associate’s name is prominently noted in the article. Minor ADT name references, such as, “guard Smith was dispatched . . .” are not indexed. Photos are also included in the index.

Currently, the index documents issues from 1937 to 1949. The index will be expanded as more issues get scanned and archived in the future.

The index can be downloaded in three different layouts by clicking on the links: 1) a PDF file sorted by business name; 2) a PDF file sorted by state and city; or, 3) for those interested in further filtering or customizing the index, a spreadsheet file sorted in volume-issue-page order.
