Loved seeing the old Otis elevator. My grandfather (working for Westinghouse Elevator) developed the original automatic elevator control systems in the 1940s (I think). Before that all elevators had human operators. He held the patents and Westinghouse licensed it to Otis and maybe others.
@@morthren Amazingly, a 1960s apartment building in Plymouth which got renovated and turned into student accommodation still has the original 60s Otises.

Was great step free access until the pub , having to climb 3 steps for lift lol. Very good video 👍
I didn't think there were any un-modded 60s Otis lifts left! Great video!
Like the sand writing
5:51 so LG is where the lads talk
This was very cool and unique!
A very up-lift-ing video - cheers !!
What sort of witchcraft are these strange machines pray tell?
4:36 it's so quiet after the doors closed, kinda private
Nice find!!!
Surprised that it hasn’t been modded! Great video!
You should hurry up and take a ride in before it gets modded
The 2nd Lift Had The Same Voice As The Queensgate Car Park Peterborough Lifts
I'd love to have seen the motor room for the Otis.
YAS, it no longer says "please hold the handrail"
Great to see an old Otis in such fine fettle.
Great to see 60’s Otis
Great video. Love the 60's OTIS. Are they hard to find in the UK?
Really rare these days! That's why I'm amazed at so many that have survived in NZ

"The lord mayor shared a feast for the eyes and ears held on the 2nd Saturday in November
