Tight close-up of the UP/DOWN pushbutton station controlling the **smaller second lift** at the Hoffmann-Hayman factory — a separate, smaller mechanism from the building's main interior freight elevator, fitted with an **exterior access door opening to the track side** so loads can be moved directly between the plant and the Southern Pacific siding running along the west flank — a grey-painted cast-iron pushbutton enclosure made by **Square D Company, Milwaukee, Wis., U.S.A.**, brass nameplate stamped 'CLASS 9001 / TYPE B-10 / MAX. V. 600 AC/DC / 218278 GG', two heavy round push buttons each cast with the legends 'UP' (top) and 'DOWN' (bottom), the button faces worn dark and oily from decades of use, mounted by four corner machine screws to a riveted steel angle-iron post behind a heavy diamond chain-link guard mesh — same physical Square D station documented in the wider track-side-lift cage view (matching nameplate and serial 218278 GG)
