The Lexan buttons were discontinued in 1989-1990. There is also a vandal resistant version, with metal buttons. A further version of this button exists which is in a different font (probably Lexan, might only be used in select countries), one with gray buttons (car station only, probably Lexan), and one that is very rare, with white buttons (probably Lexan). These are approximately 27mm in diameter, were exclusively made from Lexan and have their markings painted on rather than diecast into the button itself - this version remained in use right up until the early 1980s. The 16mm buttons were used until the mid 1960s, when the larger button version appeared.
The oldest hall stations (dating to the early 1960s) which feature this type of button sometimes have characteristic "PRESS TO ASCEND/DESCEND" markings engraved onto the faceplate. The earliest type are around 16mm in diameter, have the floor number or direction arrow die cast with the actual button material (either bakelite or Lexan fiberglass) overmolded around it. There are many variants of these buttons. These buttons are very simple with no illumination indication in the button itself, although the indicator, if specified, was usually on the faceplate adjacent to the button. These are probably the best known "classic" Otis fixtures with black round buttons with classic white letterings in the case of Otis, these buttons were first made with bakelite, then later, they were made out of Lexan fiberglass. It is unknown if these fixtures were used in other countries.Įarly-Mid 1930s? Waygood-Otis Otis hall station from manually-controlled elevator.
