Excerpt from Tests of Elevators: Thesis
The Warner elevator is of the key and push button control type and is located in Lincoln Hall at the University of Illinois. When a passenger wishes to use the car he places his key in the wall switch, which is located at the side of the door. The elevator immediately comes to the floor where the passenger is located. The doors to the elevator shaft can only be Opened when the car is at that floor. The doors are all arranged with springs so that they close whenever released. When the doors at any floor are Open the car will not operate. As soon as the elevator reaches his floor the passenger enters, and the door closes behind him. The passenger then places his key in the switch on the wall of the car corresponding to the floor to which he desires to go. If the passenger makes a mistake or desires to change his destination, he pushes a stop button on the switchboard. He then places his key in the floor switch corresponding to his destination.
