Absolutely beautiful! And the simplicity makes a great demonstration of how these mechanical processes are really simple processors. This is boolean... every switch is on or off, 1 or 0. It's binary but, in series, conditions of and/or/not exist. But beyond my nerdery, it's just a beautiful piece of functioning history!

A fantastic feat of engineering with the floor selector array, this one is huge! From what I can see it's an earlier version of the well known pie plate floor selector, with the chain linkage in the hoist way. No arcing from the magnetic motor starter's contacts, when the circuit opened. Traction machine runs smooth. Preserve this elevator, it's engineering history.

from the selector, it looks like it's a 15 stop installation. That brake is also a Hollister & Whitney add on.

Worked in the trade for over 50yrs but still know nothing. However that ‘selector’ (all those revolving contacts on the back) is one of the first automatic elevators. It’s kinda like a dinosaur bone found in a tarpit. The selector got its name by being a device that signals which direction run and where to stop. I have many pics and videos of old wooden 😊elevators that are still in service. It’s

That’s awesome. What company were you with and what local? Always love hearing from mechanics and former mechanics. And yeah, the lollipop selector is really neat. It’s always cool to see one still in action.

Otis made a very similar horizontal selector for their 1SOB - meaning single button automatic. They musta sold millions of the 1SOBs their pie plates. Didja know the first Otis ‘pie plates’ were cast iron and were not conductors?

I’d reckon the 2SOB’s are the two button automatics then? And I don’t think I did!

I have an extensive collection of 19th century elevators that are still in service. Maple rails, oak slings & flat leather belts. Would be delighted to share them. How does this old man do that? (Grandson don’t live close by)

Never saw a 2SOB. 1SOB - single spd single call automatic. With 2spd came new selector and the 2:40 operation changed to collective automatic then fully selective collective automatic.

We have an Otis 1SOB (passenger controlled)) elevator installed in 1926 serving 5 levels. It is located in the Jerome Grand Hotel and is still in daily operation averaging approx. 100 trips per day. The equipment room is in the basement making it easy to maintain. Amazing how reliable it is.
