Tejas Traction Elevator at the Computer Engineering Building.

[CBMAwards]

WHY Does The Building Have to Be Torn Down? I Love The Innovation Brusior.

[CaptainElevator42189]

They say the building has deteriorating maintenance, the infrastructure they say is functionally obsolete, and doesn't meet the computer/electrical technology needs of today. But this building is from the early 1960's, and to me it's still working well, plus I do like Innovation and CJ Anderson fixtures a lot.

That Bad Boy Is BEAUTIFUL for an Elevator. Pretty Far From The Call Button, But Still, Its HUGE. Love It!

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, this is a rather nice elevator, and it's interesting how the buttons are offset from each other. Sadly this building will be torn down next year which I find dumb, mainly because of the elevator that has been modernized.

[CaptainElevator42189]

It sure is a neat elevator, in that I rarely see a high rise elevator with rear doors.

[rct3fan45]

neat elevator and big elevator!

[CaptainElevator42189]

It sure is.

[buginafugreturns]

BIG elevator

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, that is the emergency light.

[ElevatorMan2012]

Is that white rectangular thing below the inside indicator an emergency light or something?

[CaptainElevator42189]

Okay, I will do both elevators.

[alpaljl]

Love the elevator.

[alpaljl]

Could you do a retake when you get a chance? Start at level 1. Go to LB then to PH, and finish it off by traveling back to level 1. Going from level 1 to level LB ya can show the fixtures. That's what I would do. Also please show the track on the bottem where the door slides. Thanks. You don't need to rush. As said, "When you get a chance". Thank you. I hate to sound so pushy!

[alpaljl]

Also please do the passenger elevator. Thanks.

[CaptainElevator42189]

The padding prevents the walls from being scratched, bumped, or damage if there are large loads being carried on there, and the hall station serves the passenger elevator as well.

[Elevator5519]

Is There A Different Button For The Passenger Elevator?

[Elevator5519]

Why Do They Put Padding On Some Elevators?

[CaptainElevator42189]

No. The passenger elevator only has a front door, and opens only on levels 1-PH, along with the lower basement.

[Elevator5519]

Does the Passenger Elevator Have a Rear Door?

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, they could have gone a little faster, like 300-400 FPM.

[Baytrail]

Elevator is a little slow.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, that's the front door.

[Elevator5519]

is the door that opens on level 1 the front door?

[CaptainElevator42189]

All the floors except UB open on the front door, and UB opens on the rear door for the loading dock.

[Elevator5519]

What Opens on the front and what opens on the rear?

[CaptainElevator42189]

LB is the Lower Basement, UB is the Upper Basement, and PH is the PentHouse.

[Elevator5519]

What Does LB and UB mean?

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, along with research equipment.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, and there's a Schindler elevator video that features broken signal bells on its HT fixtures.

[patricknedz]

the elevator at macys didnt have broken bells it was broken down and didnt work at all and whats the video?

[CaptainElevator42189]

Well, they're the same floor, but have a set of stairs that lead to the research rooms in the upper basement, while the lower basement has utility rooms.

[patricknedz]

is the basement where the boiler room is and maitnance stuff?

[Baytrail]

What's the difference between the upper and lower basements?

[CaptainElevator42189]

No. This elevator is only 2 years old, and should be in good condition.

[patricknedz]

there schindler HT elevator at macys is 2 years old and broke down 3 times

[wangtong04]

has this elevator brocken down before??

[CaptainElevator42189]

I think that's where they have mechanical equipment, computer rooms, and studying areas.

[Baytrail]

Why is there a penthouse in a ron-residence building?

[CaptainElevator42189]

That's because one elevator is passenger, and the freight elevator is next to passenger. Next time, I'll record the passenger elevator.

[Ih8escalators]

Why did you put two different horsepowers if it's the same elevator?

[CaptainElevator42189]

Since it's the freight elevator, it needs to be "rehabbed" since heavy equipment goes up and down on there, every day.

[6Q73RA]

Looks rehabbed

[CaptainElevator42189]

Well, this is the freight elevator, and also serves as a high capacity passenger elevator.

[Ih8escalators]

By any chance can you video the frieght elevator?
