      3. but no power receptacles conveniently located

      4. so we thought we would use the receptacle in the elevator cars themselves

      5. conduit, tripping hazard, depth of mounting, etc

      6. now we can't use the receptacle in the car at all

    2. Kevin Samson with facilities

      1. the middleman for Schindler
