Transport / Transportation / Shipping | | English term or phrase: "Elevator going up!" | | Historically, what phrase did French elevator operators use to signify "Elevator going up"? The phrase is needed for a story written by my friend which has a scene in a hotel in Vichy France. My guess was the literal "ascenseur montant", but this did not get any relevant Google hits. |
