Hi.
I just saw the movie "Jurassic Park" and noticed that in order to turn
on the main switch to the park they have to pump up a primer handle to
get a "charge", before they throw the switch. Are there switches out
there that have to be pumped up before they can be used? If so, what
was being pumped?
What was being pumped was your money out of your pocket. ;-)
It's for dramatic effect, so that there's some unknown delay as the
monster is closing in on them.
Cheers!
