The following objects are effected, viz.:-(1) All the movements of the cage are controlled by pushbuttons in the cage and at the landings. (2) By the operation of a push-button at a landing, or a corresponding one in the cage, the movement of the cage to, and automatic stoppage at that landing is effected. (3) The hoisting-mechanism cannot be put into action until all the well doors are closed. (4) A push-button having been operated, any subsequent operation of another button is ineffective until the cycle of operations proper to the first button has been completed. (5) The motion of the cage is automatically accelerated and retarded as it is started and stopped respectively. The necessary electric circuits are shown diagrammatically in the Specification. Each push-button at a landing, and the corresponding button in the cage, controls a circuit which includes a magnetic switch. Each of these switches controls a circuit including one or other of two solenoids. Each solenoid circuit includes a contact-making arrangement adapted to be broken automatically when the cage has reached the landing corresponding to the button manipulated, and also adapted to effect automatically a slowing down of the motor as the cage approaches the landing at which it is to stop. Each solenoid actuates sets of switches through which the motor circuits are controlled.
