    I like it when people film the route to the machine rooms, like that hatch with the ladder that ends short :) Great vid

    Love to see that old equipment. It is made to last. Probably 60 years old or more. New stuff may only last 10 years when the electronics fail.

    Great videos. I have been watching many of them. You would love my job. I have been working for Otis Elevator in Boston Massachusetts for the past 9 years. Love my job. Great to see people like you. Keep up with the videos.

    Hi diesel ducy! I recently found your elevator vids and can't get enough. You really need to explore the elevators in europe.

    does manually control elevators sorta "jigger" when you pull the lever?

  • @HungryGuyStories
    @HungryGuyStories 11 лет назад +1

    I wonder why it has a stop button (I don't mean the power switch you used) if you need to hold the black buttons in to make it move?

    • @seanjuth
      @seanjuth 5 лет назад

      Its one of three ways the elevator can stop in case of an emergency

    • @Tigrou7777
      @Tigrou7777 4 года назад

      I think how it works is that you press either up or down button, release it. It will move and stop automatically when it reach new floor. By holding button you make sure you don't stop at each floor.

  • @ELPaso1990TX
    @ELPaso1990TX 10 лет назад

    The relay control system looks very simple compared to other elevators how have they made it so simple? Many elevators have like thousands of relays and moving floor selector carriages.
    Really great video :)

    • @miketurner315
      @miketurner315 10 лет назад +4

      There are no floor selector carriages in this one. One button goes up, other button goes down, that's it, can't get much more simple than that LOL.

  • @gparyani

    Yes, but I have ridden on a passenger elevator with gated doors on both sides, and it was auto controlled.

  • @upanddownadventures
    @upanddownadventures 11 лет назад

    "In order to be a passenger elevator it must have a solid inner door." This confuses me. If this is true, ANY scissor-gate elevator is now legally a freight elevator, even if installed and still used as a passenger elevator? If so, does this mean building owners can get in trouble for using scissor-gate elevators for passengers?

    • @blueauraretriever
      @blueauraretriever 7 лет назад

      upanddownadventures I think that's totally unfair as gated lifts have so much more character FRIRND

    That's a nice old fashioned Westbrook traction machine. However if the elevator is modernized or the entire building is demolished, too many of them wind up being scrapped.
    Someone should build a museum to collect and display these relics.

    • @exoticcar5482
      @exoticcar5482 8 лет назад

      Dieselducy already has a massive collection of parts from elevators like this in his museum and he may plan to so something like that in the future with the right funding

    "It's geared traction." Don't tell me! I thought it was a MRL!

  • @N617A
    @N617A 9 лет назад

    On that controller it goes like this: The contactor on the left of the screen should be for the brake. (Contactor comes on brake releases.) The 2 on the right side of the screen are the up and down. When the down button is pressed the bottom contactor goes in and the top one stays put. But when he brought it back up the top one went in and the bottom one stayed put. The "Final limit switch" I think is actually inside the shaft and once the elevator crosses it, it shuts the contactors for the brake and the direction it's going off. It seems to me that the door locks are also not operated via a separate controller but are also dealt with inside of the shaft. The reason you see 3 contactors here instead of a million is because of the manual control. It doesn't need a relay for each floor, Shaft tape or a... As I call "Disk reader" to tell what floor it is on. It just passes the final limit switch and each contactor that's on shuts off and will only go in the opposite direction. Also the relays now adays run signals to the door motor, The lights in the cab (if applicable), Up calls, Down calls etc... etc... In some cases I believe relays even run signals to contactors for the bigger motors. But I may be incorrect on that one. I would rather work on an elevator like this switch gear (Want to be an elevator mechanic. Knowledge is still a bit limited on the subject though.) than a collective selective. (I am sure dieselducy knows all of this. I am just commenting my thoughts on it.)

      Down at the bottom to the left of the controller board is the phase reserving relay. The motor is a 3 Phase AC with 3 stator fields, 3 hot conductors. The relay reserves the phasing of two of two conductors i.e. black to red which controls the direction the motor turns for up and down. The relay cuts out when the floor landing is reached.
