  • (12-11-2015) This place is awesome. 2 vintage elevator in one place! Originally opened as a hospital but now an office building. The first elevator has a totally EPIC motor!. Sorry for the dropped frame at 0:41 but I tried and tried to get rid of it but Final Cut wouldn't cooperate :(

    Gated Otis lift (elevator)! Epic video, Andrew! I live in England UK and my cousins flats in Brighton has an old Waygood-Otis lift with gated doors, even a side door! I believe it is from the 1930s. Also there are other old lifts in Brighton. There is a high rise old Otis although the higher floors are locked off because they are flats above floor 5 and only goes to the car park at the Holiday Inn, 2 Old Waygood-Otis lifts from 1938 at the old Ship Hotel, an old Express lift at Heales (Im not sure if its spelt Heales or Heals). Amazing editing too!

      There would not be a car door interlock most likely, there would be a gate switch that would detect that the gate is closed. I guess the gate doesn't bounce open far enough for the elevator to detect it.

    Does this not have an interlock for the gate? Absolutely amazing motor and elevator in general!

    • @GaryBeltz
      @GaryBeltz 8 років тому +1

      +WestCoast Elevators The interlock might be built into the gate if you notice there is an arm that moves when the gate is opening and closing maybe the part at the end of the arm is the interlock.

    • @JoeyC370
      @JoeyC370 8 років тому +1

      +WestCoast Elevators Most gated elevators like this do not have an interlock but rather a device that looks like an interlock that completes a circuit when the door is closed allowing the elevator to move. This works like an interlock so that if you pull open the gate the elevator stops. Theoretically though you should be able to push on the device and complete the circuit allowing the elevator to move with the gate open, never tried it though.

    • @WestCoastElevators
      @WestCoastElevators 8 років тому +1

      +O Town Elevators
      I would think that the gate bouncing open briefly as the elevator starts to move would cause any safety device that may exist to halt the elevator, at least momentarily.

    • @JoeyC370
      @JoeyC370 8 років тому

      +WestCoast Elevators Not always because the gate only has to be inside of the device for the elevator to move so when the gate bounces open a little it can still be completing the circuit.

    • @WestCoastElevators
      @WestCoastElevators 8 років тому

      +O Town Elevators
      I guess depending on where the device is located the gate could still complete the circuit even open a bit, but it opens awfully far at 1:20.
