Limit Switches.

An automatic terminal stopping device located in the hoistway is provided and arranged to bring the car to a stop at each normal landing independent of the regular operating device. Overtravel limit switches are also provided, mounted on hoistway, operated by the car, and arranged to stop the car and prevent operation should the car travel beyond the zone of the normal stopping device.

Controls.

The hoisting motor is provided with a fully electromagnetic type controller operated by pushbuttons in the car and at floor landings. The pushbuttons marked “UP” and “DOWN” are interlocked mechanically and electrically to prevent simultaneous operation.
