Fluorescent lighting

Those were the days ;-) I remmeber my physics teacher seting up an experiment with a casserole dish of mercury and inserting a glass tube in it with his hand with his hand immersed in the mercury and saying don't do this, if you do you'll end up with less teeth and hair than I have, now that was a scary thought. But the experiment was left out all day until the next day.

so rather than just up/down buttons, your lift has a button for every other floor in the lobby on each floor? I bet people still get into a lift going up when they want to go down, instead of waiting for one going down ...

Could be.

Then that is a needed condition.

Same as above. If the room is used by people with poor eyesight, etc.

Very much so - especially as you get older.

Luckily, I have a workshop inside the house. Once was a bedroom. So just as comfortable as anywhere else.

Living rooms may not be ideal for finding pingfuckits. ;-)

I've never seen a life with just up and down buttons.

Outside the 3 lifts there are 3 panels likem a calculator. If you push button 3 it'll tell yuo which lift L1 L2 or L3 will be the one to stand by. If you get in the lift it tells you to you get taken to that floor. If you get in the lift that someone else has selected 4, then you will be taken to floor 4 rather than floor 3.

The general idea is to tell the lift what floor level you want to go to and it tells you which lift to get. If you ask to go to floor 3, it will take you to floor 3 NOT ANY OTHER FLOOR.

They are students. I've been in a lift and a student followed me in so I asked which floor and he said I don't know, so I selected my floor 2 (old lift) and got out on that floor. Leaving the student in the lift, he wasn't there the next day so I can only assume he got out at some point either on the ground floor or 1 2,3 or 4 at some point in his life.

I thought you said that it would only send a lift that had already 'decide' to go to the floor you chose.

I've never quite understood those, most peole I;'ve watched just hit both of them.

No. Do you know what floor you wish to go to before you approach a lift ? I do.

Our old lift if I want to go to floor 2 I press 2, what dop you presss 1 & 2 ?

With the new lifts we have before the lift arrives you use the panel outside the lift to select the floor you wish to go to, similar to what you'd do if you entered the old lift. Once selected you are told which lift to get in to, then that lift will take you to that floor.

Is it really that complicated ? Our students seem to manage it.

Too true. Mostly they are belly buttons, fly buttons and then one day all the buttons are marked down...

I've used a lift with just up & down inside the lift, but it was a handle rather than buttons.

Good grief. The idea is you only stop the lift if it is going in your direction.

No wonder they won't let you design anything.

How else would I change tubes that are 11ft or more above floor level, as when they come over to change them they bring a ladder for some reason do you have any idea why they bother to bring a ladder when they can fly or do whatever you expect peole to do with lights attached to the ceiling.

It was suggested that I just remove the starters was teh easist way to dim the lights. Do you truely believ in that method ? In the antenna lab it's more like 40ft ceiling.

Yes, why did you reply if you don't have these things, not that I have them either.

How do you know which direction the lift is going it's in a shaft ?

and do you really think students or anyone else does that.

Anyway you've no idea how many times it's been previously pressed or what floors it has been pressed on.

I design plenty of things I'm just more aware of problems than you are.

you don't need to know ... if are on the 1st floor and want to go up, you simply press "up", the lift might come down to get you, then go back up again, alternatively it might come up to get you, then carry on up

Reply to

Not even that is true.

When a button is pressed outside the elevator, the controller identifies the most appropriate elevator to stop at that floor. This may be based on distance to the floor or the direction of travel

So you press to go in the direction you want to go in. But wha if the lift if above level 1 ?

So the buttons are pretty much meaningless (as I know) they just select the closest lift that is going in yuor direction.

what has changing tubes got to do with rotating a starter?

It was said that it's an option. It is

I've done it often enough

so you wanna moan that it's not the best option for every situation.

what's that got to do with anything? Do you manage to feed yourself?

Where are the starters located ?

Now see if you can work it out for yourself.

and where are these starters located ?

So.

I'm saying it;s not the bestv option for most situations.

Everything.

Yes and I don;t have to DIY everything I eat, I don;t have to look after cattle or grow a field of wheat either.

Do you make yuor own toilet paper out of old pizza leaflets ?
