A red up arrow but not a red down arrow?! Why is that?

[CaptainElevator42189]

Maybe the main floor uses red indicators, but the other floors use white.

And it sounds more pleasing than the shrill Dover buzz.

I like the "cricket" BUZZ better than the "Whine" or "Dog Whistle"

[CaptainElevator42189]

So do I.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, but a green up arrow and red down arrow would be a lot more interesting on a Dover Impulse lantern.

Not buzzes, but a beep.

You should call him Nicholas.

A RED up arrow?!?

Apparently, the certificates in Texas do not show the speed, brand, and capacity for the elevator. They just show inspection codes, elevator type, and inspector/owner contact numbers.
