Abstract: A machine for making glass containers having a number of displaceable mechanisms comprising a plurality of selectively operable regulators for controlling the operation of the displaceable mechanisms, a control panel including a corresponding plurality of toggle switches switchable between select and deselect positions, each toggle switch being associated with one of the regulators. The control panel is enabled when all of the toggle switches are in the down position and start motion buttons pushed simultaneously will implement the machine state defined by the operator by locating specific toggle switches in the select position.
