EPIC Elevator y'all! The 1925 manual OTIS is definitely a treasure and a treat!

@myrasalvador1431 4 года назад

@patrickrichmond9896 6 лет назад

The 1925 Otis Manual elevator even had a doorless cab. Heritage Elevators loves those kind. The old Famous Barr building in downtown St. Louis even had 2 freight elevators with doorless cabs.

it still there ?

@jonathancreveling8699 5 лет назад

I love both of these elevators equally!

@jonathancreveling8699 2 года назад

@I STAN Kim Jong-Un but Can't STAND Trump At least they kept the ornate windows in the modded one.

@dennismanbook 6 лет назад

Very awesome!!! Nice the older one left completely original and did a great job doing the mod on the one on the right and still keeping the ornate vent windows that you can see out of. That is indeed a much tasteful mod.😀

@TheTheo58 6 лет назад

The modernization does look good, in keeping with the original design of the cab and vent windows. Adding the automatic cab and landing doors and floor buttons, call stations. Wonder if they retained the original traction machine?

@mocub33 6 лет назад

TheTheo58 yes, they retained the original traction motor.

@TheTheo58 4 года назад

@@mocub33 Very glad the original machine was preserved during the modernization, unlike the 104 year old Otis gear-less DC machines at Smith Tower that were replaced when their elevators were modernized. I think they could have kept them in service by replacing the MG set with a DC drive when the new controllers were installed.

@robfassi3297 6 лет назад

It’s so cool seeing the original elevator next to the modded one

@elevatorsbyliftfilmer1247 5 лет назад

The better an elevator is maintained, the longer it'll last without needing a modernization.

@danielmarreviews3947 6 лет назад

The older was was AWESOME!! The new was was pretty cool too tho. It was still original at least!

@baritonebynight 5 лет назад

I remember as a little kid going to a very high end department store downtown. There was a very old manual elevator there with an operator named Pearl. She was so elegant. You told her what you wanted and she took you to the floor. I remember telling her "I want to be an elevator operator too!" She said "oh no you don't, you just pull the level all day...".

@BuildingToursForLife1660-4 5 лет назад

The 1925 OTIS Manually Controlled Elevator is better than the other one in my opinion but I love the cabs in both elevators

@tuxrt 4 года назад

Thanks. That was awesome taking a trip up n down that old gem. I recall going to dr barrs dentist off there (4th floor?). Walk in the office and see a green plush carpet with blood stains in waiting area. Boy those were the days. Became a man real quick! And wasnt there an Old gentlemen who ran that Elevator?

I've been to St. Joseph. Had I known I'd have gone to take a look at that!

@hebneh 6 лет назад

In old movies or radio shows, you'll sometimes hear or see jokes based on old elevators like this one that required someone to operate it. Often they were used in department stores and the operators had to recite all the different merchandise on each floor when they stopped and the door opened: "3rd floor - ladies' undergarments, perfume, sewing notions, women's shoes..."

the way the modded lift runs is so cool!!! exactly how MCE should be programmed :) there's one lift at my university that was installed in 2010 (traction) and it runs EXACTLY the same way :) I ride it every day

@jonasturiano 4 года назад

I don't like elevators at all, but i like to see them. I mean, I live in a 5th floor, here in Spain, in a building with a good elevator, and i always use the stairs, because im really scared about being closed into the elevator, but i really enjoy seeing all kind of elevators, im really interested on it. Nice channel! Congrats. (sorry for my english)

@PNWElevatorAviation 6 лет назад

@StuartGray100 6 лет назад

Very nice Elevators. I hope they will not modernize the original old one, but also the modernized one Looks nice, because the cab Looks like the one from the 20's. Great Video.

I remember Marshall Field and Company has the elevators similar like this when I was like 5 years old back in the early 1970. Sadly, they no longer operates.

You can tell that guy likes the manual better than the newer :)! Hopefully that’s a good sign they aren’t going to do anything w/ it, esp. since they already have an auto right next to it.

@Bombiedude. 2 года назад

On the modded elevator when it came to a stop it made the jolting noise like on an ecodisc but Im pretty sure that was just the innerlocks releasing

@DieselDucy 2 года назад

It was.

@Bombiedude. 2 года назад

It also kind of did that a little bit when it was actually moving and maybe those few times it was just the motor starting up

@EWPA14 5 лет назад

Often times he does, but doesn’t include it in the initial video. I’m not saying that’s the case here, I’m just saying it often is. Another thing is he may not want to ask so he doesn’t overdue his welcome.

Otis invented self leveling in 1913 but I do not think they started becoming common until closer to 1915.

@elevcan2312 6 лет назад

@upanddownadventures 6 лет назад

It doesn't look like it self levels to me at non-terminal landings (unless it is partial self leveling where it self levels if it is just a little off from level).

@elevatordailies 6 лет назад

The original one is more reliablre because it never got modernized.

@TheTheo58 6 лет назад

Those elevators were built to last, much simpler manual operation, no floor relays/selectors the AC 2 speed motor with a reserving hand controller or possible replay, door interlocks.
