lifts where you have to tell it what floor before you
get in it and then wait for the lift that goes to that floor
so rather than just up/down buttons,
I've never seen a life with just up and down buttons.
Then you need to get out more. Most do BEFORE YOU GET IN IT

Dumb**** we were refering to inside the lift NOT outside.
Even a terminal drunken ****wit should be able
to read and comprehend the current first para
with the words BEFORE YOU GET IN.
But that doesn't make any differnce to whether the lift goes up or
down.
Perhaps you don't have them in Aus or they work differntly.
Today the lift was on teh 4th floor. I was on the ground floor. we have
a
basement and floors 1, 2, 3, 4,
SO I called the lift using the down button, according tlo you this
means I
want to go to the basement, I didn't I wanted the 2nd floor.
The lift came to the ground floor I got in and the door closed. Nothig
else happened the lift stayed on the ground floor, after a few
miniutes I
pressed the button for the 2nd floor and the lift went up.
Now according to ****wits, when pressing the down button outside the
lift
the lift should go down well it didn't.
That's really fascinating. Such a simple conrtro system and you've
totally failed to understand it. If you want to go up, you press the
up button. You get a lift just as quickly, but one on the way to the
basement because of the another user's request will not waste their time
and yours by stopping on the way down. It will still stop on the way
up, if another lift has not yet reached you. But everyone will be saved
the time of the futile stop on the way down. In your case, the lift at
the top which is empty and has no demand for the basement will still
come just as quickly if you press the up button, but will know it has to
go up. So you lose nothing by pressing the right button, but the
overall system is improved.
Or possibly you're joking?
But I've know this lift for 30 years
But are so stupid that you have never managed to work
out what the two buttons outside the lift are actually for.
The lift doesnt need anyone to tell it whether it needs
to go up and down from where it is to the floor that
has had someone indicate that they want the lift to show
up there. Its quite capable of working that out for itself.
But the only way that it can know whether the person
who has pressed the button wants to go up or down
is to have two buttons so they can indicate that.
it's never worked proplely I was told that.
Separate matter entirely to what those TWO buttons are for.
It also until 2 months ago never stopped on any floor
evenly there was a gap of about 4 inches if yuo were
going up, but only 1/2 inch when going down.
It's been like that for years.
All completely and utterly irrelevant to what those TWO buttons are for.
If yuo wanted to use a trolly you had to go up first
in order to go down if you wanted an almost level
surface. Once while carrying 4 computers on a trolly,
the wheel broke off and fell down the lift shaft.
All completely and utterly irrelevant to what those TWO buttons are for.
When students are using it you won't know how many
times or which buttons have been pressed and there's
no way to work it out anyway as the internal lift
buttons override the direction and floor number.
All completely and utterly irrelevant to what those TWO buttons are for.
Ther theory might be great but what actually happens is another thing.
The lift should also default to staying on the ground floor
Bull****. There will always be just as many going down as going up.
but it doesn't do that either, it just stops
on the last floor that it was used on.
All completely and utterly irrelevant to what those TWO buttons are for.
But luckily I've only been stuck in it once.
Unlucky for us, actually.
