I remember about a year ago when I wrote about a Glass-Floored Bathroom built over a 15-story elevator shaft. I'm still not sure I would use that bathroom. Today I'd like to talk about the psychology behind where you stand when you get in an elevator. Click here to read the complete article.

This must the following: safety handrails, emergency lightning, automatic emergency buttons, telephone, manual operating latch, and automatic controls.
