Dover Traction Elevator at Grady Hospital in Atlanta

[hcp051000]

Nice elevators but why did chose not to tour the basement 'B'?

[irwinw2010]

b is locked.

This is an interesting one because there is side brailles, the word up/down, and the arrows. Also the indacator and hall lantern are seperated. Then the interior indacator is above the door. How interesting is that?

Why can't these get to 14?

[musicfreakcc]

They are in a different wing that's only 7 floors tall.

[jack9547]

why is there an 8 button if the building is only 7 floors tall?

[musicfreakcc]

Mechanical floor, I guess.

I cannot find where the indicator is placed but it is on the top of the door. Darn.

As I recall, I read about this hospital in the paper. Apparently it may be shut down due to lack of funds. Bummer.

I've never seen a Dover elevator like this before, with the floor indicator moved from above the blue Dover name to the top of the door!

Of course, hospital elevators use 2-speed doors to accomodate the freight and stretcher beds boarding the elevator.

[musicfreakcc]

Yeah, but I have also seen a combination of center-opening and dual 2-speed doors at this hospital.

Why does the hospital restrict the top floor?

[musicfreakcc]

Well, that floor is unaccessible on the other elevators, and also it is the only one to have a key switch.
