An auxiliary hand held microphone may be plugged into a microphone receptacle if greater mobility is desired while communicating.

SP-20

(3) Communication between the car and base stations shall be via a wireless signal. Provide wireless transmitters and receivers as required to allow communication between the car and base stations for the entire length of the track.

(4) While moving, electrical energy is supplied by a storage battery mounted on the car. Safety switches (door close switch, slack cable switch) and directional limit switches shall be interlocked to the push button control circuits. When the car door is closed and the safety switch circuit is complete, the car will be allowed to travel.
