fire alarm pull station squirt dye question



Hi,
When I was in grammar school about 30 years ago the rumor was that if
you pulled a fire alarm, ink or dye would squirt out to mark who
pulled the alarm.  Nobody had ever actually seen it, but that was the
rumor.  So I was wondering who made the pull station, is it still
available, etc.   Searching the web it looks like it is still a pretty
widely believed rumor.  But I can't find a pull station manufactured
by anybody that actually does anything like that.  I think it's just
an urban legend.  But I figured if anybody would be able to point me
to an actual pull station that did that (now or ever), one of you
would.

I found the tamper dye to put on the handle itself.

but that's not what the rumor was about.  The rumor was about a pull
station that sprayed the vandal.

Any ideas?

Thanks
