Really quite incredible how elaborate, intricate and massive those machines are all in one place. There IS a lot going on there and countless numbers of fail points that, because of the intricacy, would take a savant to troubleshoot. This was fun! thanks for sharing!

This mechanism should be on The Registry of Historic Devices.....if such a registry exists.

Amazing minds of the day must have created such an incredible feat of engineering and electro electronics of the day . Brilliant footage. To think it’s lasted this long is beyond comprehension.

Old, broken down, ex elevator mechanic here.... Everything was going digital when I got out of the business. Rail mounted motors, ect. This is good stuff for sure. All that goes in a small, refrigerator sized box, now.

The machining of pieces pieces let alone installing them, is amazing! Another is thinking of the parts necessary and then drawing them so they can be made.

That tube based dispatcher is an amazing timepiece of 1950's computational technology. The Westinghouse equivalent using their 'Reliatron' tubes is equally as fascinating, but always thought Otis's way of doing it was better with their Autotronic system.

Amazing technology that's still in use. Love it, thanks!
