Haughton Fixtures
Type E
Type E is a round concave black button, made through the 1960s and into the 1970s. They are sometimes mixed with Type F or triangle call stations, and used for door open and alarm buttons on some hydraulic elevators with Type H.
Rarity Rating: 9/10
Round white buttons
Often incorrectly called L-Series, this was Haughton and Schindler Haughton's standard fixture line from the mid-1960s until Schindler Haughton was folded in 1989.
There are two types of buttons in this series:
Type F - "Mushroom" shape (1960s-70s)
Type H - flat (1970s-80s)
This series was offered with four indicators:
Metal plate with die-cut numbers
Segments that look like Type H buttons
LCD indicators (1980s, see below)
Projection indicators (1980s, see below)
Rarity Rating: 6/10
Vandal Resistant
This fixture has no confirmed name. It is a variant of Type H with metal buttons and light-up numbers. This variant was probably only produced during the Schindler Haughton era (1980s), and is extremely rare, with only a few buildings known to have ever had it.

Digital indicators
During the Schindler Haughton era, some elevators with Type H buttons had digital indicators. They are 7-segment negative mode LCD displays, in green, blue, or purple. These indicators are very rare, and are thought to have been made by CE Electronics.
Projection indicator
Schindler Haughton also offered a projection indicator similar to Otis's IEE indicator. This indicator was used with Type H buttons and is very rare.
Lanterns
These may have been made by CJ Anderson for Haughton.
