Fire Alarm Call Box
An original, unmodified call box. Missing the glass though.

A modified (and defaced) version of the call box. You can still see the instructions through the plexiglass.
Be sure to view this photo in Flickr to see all the controls detailed out. Very cool.
Viewed from the front of the bike (i.e. not how the rider would see it).
Love the "Engine Working Wrong" Setting. Does that shut everything down in a way that "Stop" doesn't? I'm guessing so.
Looks complicated. Not very scannable.

Low tech and bizarre controls.
Amazing how stripped down a glider's controls are compared to a jet's.
Interesting that the clutch and brake are the same pedal.
Amazing how simple these are for such a large and powerful object that can be extremely dangerous.
Love the diagrams, although hard to distinguish one control from another.
Look at the Flickr photo to see all the notes on this one. Everything is mapped out.
"The control stand on CN 6789."
Controls on the outside of the vehicle, capable of being used while wearing gloves. I wonder why the levers instead of just buttons? Is there some kind of finesse with the crushing?
Wow, what a funky variation. The knobs (levers?) are under the housing and labels.
