At Yeshiva University, there once was an 1130 (heard it caught fire)
and we were told that exceedingly terrible things would happen if you
pulled the Emergency Pull, as if the CE would have to come in and
do some very involved operation to fix it (rethread the wires in the
core? :-) ).  After it somehow got pulled, the CE showed us how to
pop it back out and we used it whenever we didn't want people on the
system.
