The oil man and one of his helpers were here to service the furnace yesterday. The first thing I noticed when they entered the cellar were not so much some exclamations of surprise at seeing the new elevator, but the sound of the cab descending to the basement. I guess one of them wasn't able to resist pressing the activation button. Neither took a test ride, however. I went down to the basement about half an hour later to get a batch of laundry. Both expressed admiration for my new "toy." Neither of them had ever even seen or heard of a pneumatic elevator before.
