VERY RARE LIFT







High Wycombe hospital

These lifts are very old and rare. The lifts have pop in buttons. When you press the button it stays in. When the lift goes up when it gets to a floor it checks to see wether the floor button is pushed in, if it is pushed in it will stop at the floor. If you push the button for a floor and the lift then starts going to that floor then you pull out the button (canceling the floor) the lift will keep going up not knowing what floor to stop at until it gets to the top floor where it has to stop anyway.
