The original specifications for the TQC apparatus, had Grover air horns, plus some other items. The Chief at that time wanted changes in the spec's and thus the electronic version of the air horn replaced the conventional ones, as well as the Roto-Ray light replaced the Mars 888 light.
After the rigs came in and the company officers began a list of complaints, the auto shop was directed to begin the installation of the conventional air horns. I don't' think they ever did anything on it as they yelled about the original spec's and the cost of procuring and installing them.
They had the call on it as in Richmond all vehicles belong to the auto shop, aka fleet maintenance, and the agencies pays a rental back to them, which cover most maintenance and cost of replacement.
