Remarks & Notes 
Controls of the engineer in the cab of "crocodile" Ce 6/8 III # 14305 of SBB Historic during a visit in the depot Olten. The locomotive was delivered in 1926 by SLM and MFO to the SBB and run on the Gotthard line for decades, later on lines with less heavy grades. It became historic locomotive in 1976. The wheel is used to control the 23 speed steps of the MFO on-load tap-changer, to the left of which is the main switch and reversing switch. Behind the wheel, 4 indicating instruments for overhead line voltage, main current, ampere meter of driving motors 1 and 2 or rather 3 and 4. Above indicator of pipe and main reservoir air pressure. The Hasler speed indicator, that records on a paper strip, shows that the locomotive is allowed to run up to 65 km/h (from 1956 to 1973 it was allowed for 75 km/h and designated Be 6/8 III # 13305). On the right foreground the master brake valve (called Führerbremsventil), behind the brake valve for the locomotive only (called Rangierbremsventil).
