    Honestly the CTA has a lot of really neat elevators, though this one probably is the most unique. That scrolling text PI is nice too.

    Really interesting setup, and it's quite unique and interesting to come across a 2 floor, low speed, low rise Dover traction elevator.

    • @stlelevators
      @stlelevators  2 года назад +1

      I find it interesting that traction was chosen here over hydraulic. Must have been a reason for that.

      @@stlelevators I really wonder what the CTA’s logic was when installing their elevators, because there doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to whether they installed traction or hydraulic elevators at each station, because it varies a ton.

    @NeilPrasad_1905 2 года назад

    The setup itself is quite interesting but bizarre because it's two elevators attached as one, it may lead to some people unable to leave the desired floor like the part when you went to the other cab and there is no door at Mezzanine.
    Similar way, it's kinda like Aon Center which is actual Double-Decker and it was designed in order for both decks to serve the assigned floors like when the lower deck has to serve 80th floor, the upper deck has to be at 81st floor which it doesn't serve.
    So, this kind of arrangement is very valuable space saving and at the same time, very concerning.

    • @stlelevators
      @stlelevators  2 года назад

      How’s it concerning that it saves space? You can just push the button you need and it will eventually go to that floor.
