Andrew, how did you pull this off? Very Impressive! Sad to see the Otis Fixtures gone. These two beasts are fun to ride. When I wanted to ride these when I was volunteering back in 1997-1999; I had to check a key out from security and put it in a lock that said G (motor generator). Without a key, it wouldn't run. Those things were kept off.

@TheTheo58 4 жыл бұрын

This fright elevator likely has a 2:1 roping which enables more weight to be carried in addition to a larger geared traction machine. There are compensating sheaves on top of the cab and counterweight unlike with 1:1 roping where the free ends of the cab anchor to the cab and counterweight pass over the driven sheave. The 2:1 free ends are anchored to the ceiling of the elevator shaft.
