Default American toilets

I've never seen these kinds of pressure flush anywhere else and was

About 1964, on a school trip to Paris, I was fascinated to find
that the hotel toilets were flushed by pressing a button, which
seemed to release pressure from an accumulator somewhere, but
buses were stopped by pulling a chain, the reverse of my previous
experience.
