North Dakota's FIRST OTIS Gen 3 - University of North Dakota
Переглядів 556Рік тому
I had seen this elevator for a while (it was installed around 6 months ago from recording) and just didn't get around to filming it until recently; lo an behold it's an OTIS Gen 3! I believe this one is the first of North Dakota. It's basically just a Gen 2 but with a KONE-esque directional indicator that's blue, but still cool nevertheless. Check out my videos of the other elevators on campus ...
Bottom Traction - UND Noren Hall Elevator
Переглядів 3632 роки тому
This elevator was installed with the construction of the building in the 1960s and was modernized in the 1980s. It's a bottom drive single speed traction, so I would guess that this used to be a gated OTIS elevator that was later converted into a more modern passenger elevator. This will probably be the last elevator video from UND for a short while, unless I decide to film the parking garage e...

The Hancock Hall elevator is pretty much the same as Johnstone Hall, except that the bell works and it is generally in a better state. Unfortunately it too suffers from sinking issues and has to relevel at times. *Hancock Hall is a private building that requires key card access. Part of my elevator explorations at the U...

    Looking back at this in 2024 (about to be 2025) the VTA changed a lot, and honestly we lost a lot of things especially when it came to the announcements

    This looks like it would have been the original escalator that would have been put in back when this was a JC Penney store. Westgate was originally built in the early 1960s, but the Penney's came later, somewhere around 1968.
