Where goes the "C" button ?

[utoobepee]

This should be a passenger elevator.

[SchindlerHaughton]

This hotel was built in 1969.

I have NEVER seen a 9 story Days Inn.

[Mhebner23]

Which Days Inn was that? Was that the one by the stadium?

[dieselducy]

@Mhebner23 yep :)

[pnwelevator]

The doors seemed to be not that heavy. But 2K capacity, that is useless for freight.

[suzzex]

@pnwelevator It is also a relatively small elevator. Probably for laundry, carts and trash.

[elevatorfreak112]

what is the address of this place i would like to stay there and film their elevators also

[seanq95]

DOVERBUZZ!!!

[georgef551]

2K pond freight elevator.

Pointless.

(Not the video, of course!)

[eleljep]

On my Hartenstein elevator video at the Pyramid Building, The capacity on that elevator is 2000 LBS. However it's just a regular elevator plus it has 3 speed doors on the inside cab.

[georgef551]

Well, it's an actual elevator. There's a 3-speed in Fitchburg, inside and out. Not sure if it's modernized or ripped out. I got to try and see if it's accessable like it was in the '80's.

[MrChennells13]

very cool

[FranceHopper]

Wow how can you fit any freight in there? That is tiny. Must take a number of trips to move things from floor to floor.

[huzzahs4me]

I actually worked on this elevator when I worked for Nashville Machine.

[dieselducy]

AWESOME!!! can you tell me what year this days in or King of the Road Motor inn was built??

[huzzahs4me]

For some reason, '63 rings a bell with me (cause it had the same elevator system [pre-modernization] as an old apartment building in Nashville that I used to work on regularly), but, I just posed the question to a former colleague who is still with NashMach who said he will look on the original machine room schematics next time he's at the property and let me know!

[huzzahs4me]

1962 was the date on the original machine room documents according to my source!!

[jack9547]

wow, I would NEVER guess that any hotel would have a freight elevator. What could they possibly need it for? I cant think of anything a hotel would need to move that would require one. The biggest thing I can think of is a rollaway bed, but that would fit easily in a normal elevator.

[dieselducy]

yeah. the passenger elevators were actually BIGGER!! its VERY narrow shape gave it an illlusion of being bigger than it really was.

[cober6711]

@jack9547 I've seen one before at the Fort Garry Hotel in Winnipeg. Kinda surprised me too!

[dieselducy]

yeah i thought about that myself.

[suzzex]

Awesome!

[Ih8escalators]

The one at Roosevelt Field was a little bit smaller than this.

[dieselducy]

actually this one is much narrower. the narrow size gives it the illusion of being very deep.

[jimster586]

Awesome! The fixtures on the freight elevator might be G.A.L.
