Reminds me about 20 years ago when I was a custodian at an institution laundry building- they had an old (WWII) Trumbull "Swing-Wa" panel that shut off the main fans in the building. Had to operate one of those every night.
For the most part it never bothered me except sometimes I would think to myself, What would happen if the insulation in the handle somehow failed?"
I heard they either locked out or abandoned that panel. I thought it was kinda cool though.
