The control panel

This is the control panel of an escalator put into use in 1949. Currently, the resetting system has been replaced and the old one has been preserved and made available for viewing

Intriguing. how did you find such a great subject?

[Brian]

An extraordinary subject captured so well.

[Nigel Rogers]

Different!

[Karen]

Gosh - that's quite something! Who’d have thought an escalator made use of so many switches and other tweaking devices.

[Joan Robillard]

Neat

[Mags]

Super capture!

[Mary Siegle]

Is this the old resetting system on display—not the whole control panel? In any case, fascinating subject!

[John Falconer]

Great shot. The current “system” is probably the size of a matchbox.

[Diana]

Such an amazing find and capture! So many unusual switches and levers, quite intriguing.

[Merrelyn]

[Heather]

I like your pov with this capture! A fascinating image and an informative narrative! (At first, I thought we were looking down on the buildings of a town. In a way, maybe we are.) Fav

Very interesting

[Corinne C]

Oh I love this! and it is perfect in B&W

[Shutterbug]

It certainly looks more complicated than a control panel for an elevator. Interesting for them to leave it for viewing.

[Kathy]

Fascinating. All the pieces are wired in and each have their duty.

[Taffy]

Fascinating to see the inner workings.

[Issi Bannerman]

Wow, that's quite fascinating.
