Piston elevators in a nutshell
@sujanmangarati5831 Ай бұрын
Forgot to tell who built the safety break mechanism. It was Otis who performed how the breaking system worked by himself. He commanded someone to cut the rope and the elevator stopped. After this, his sale of 3 elevators a year turned into 2000 elevators in the next decade because of the demonstration.
