We asked Gina Barney to take a look back into her library and choose something from the archives of interest to our readers today.

For this “From the archives” we go back 62 years or so. This is to look at the idea of engineer Leo Port to put the passenger destination buttons on the landing and not in the lift car.

The article is in two parts:

Part 1: The people who made it happen.

Part 2: How Call Allocation works – theory and practice.

Part 1 is presented here, and Part 2 will be in LIN Issue 5 in the Summer.
