Where was this footage shot? This neighborhood looks quite familiar like the Elmwood district, east of Telegraph Avenue, south of UC Berkeley. I grew up in Berkeley, lived near the Tilden Park Golf Course. I moved seven years ago to the PNW still nice to see places where I grew up.

I would have to 2nd she was not the right person to make this dive. And yes divers must test all their gear to be certain it is working properly, before venturing underwater. Your Life depends on your SCUBA gear being 100%. She was quite nervous just being inside the suit, then starting to hyperv...

Billie-Jo was played by three different actresses Jeannine Riley (1963-1965) Gunilla Hutton (1965-1966) Meredith MacRae (1966-1970) Bobbie-Jo was portrayed by two actresses .Pat Woodell (1963-1965) Lori Saunders (1965-1970) Actress Linda Kaye Henning played Betty-Jo for the entire seven year run ...

Yes there two compensating cable weights attached to the underside of the car. The cables loping on the left, are the traveling cables. Counterweights often have compensating weight cables as well. There is a 11-12 story parking garage in downtown Portland, OR which two machine room less tractio...

Just viewed this video 2nd time since I commented last year. If the elevator system was designed incorrectly from the start sounds like over time the malfunctions or problems began to appear. This elevator installed over 20 years ago, however I wonder if the property owner(s) might be able to ge...

after seeing the video which appears to be inside an underground tunnel this guy is lucky to alive, that is some serious current from the size of the arc flash!

In the Bay Area when I used to reside, is the Bay Area Rapid Transit system (Bart) has a 1000 V DC 3rd rail each car had 4 150 HP DC tr...

Laura Hand appeared as an extra in "Burned" an eighth season episode. She can be seen in the background talking with a detective at 13 minutes 37 seconds into the episode, as Stabler, Benson, walk down the hallway towards the squad room. This was a wonderful video and no doubt the happiest day in...

very nicely done video, near my old job an office building has an Otis winding drum elevator installed in 1906. Traveled up and down for 89 years before the motor needed rebuilding. You lucked out getting to see the "wheel" in the machine room. The Motor-Generator set changes incoming AC to DC...

You did a fine job making the 1st season laser rifle prop with shaping the power pack and butt end from wood. PVC pipe and fittings are great for building props and such. Paint job looks smooth. I recently completed a replica of the 1st season laser rifle. It was about a five month project with ...

As to the CRT "out of the case" the set was taken apart beforehand. I saw the back of the cabinet tossed in, along with the wall unit. Would have been safer to toss the set intact, than leaving a potentially implosive CRT laying on the sidewalk. I have a JVC 32" TV weights about 105# The glas...

Season 1 was also filmed in B/W Color not till the 2nd season. The 1st year had the best or better episodes over the 3 year run. There was much more involvement with the entire family and Don West, in the stories. Rather than Dr.Smith, Will and the Robot as the focal point.

I was really surprised there was not more damage to the Jupiter 2 after the crash landing. Other than control panels on the lower and upper deck shorting out w/small flames In Forbidden World, after the J-2 crash landed, serious damage was evident on the upper deck. With two B205's sheared awa...

Interesting these machines are actually geared at first glance appear to be gear-less With the yellow rotation disc parallel with the sheave, mounted to the armature. I could hear the machines start up and stop, however the background noise might be motor-generators if the hoist motors are DC. Th...

Oh yes the machine would "be in the way" plus also weaken the base or machine beams the machine is mounted to. The participial episode of Mission Impossible involving an elevator shaft was filmed on location and a studio mock up. However the "trap door" existed the machine was located away from ...

Nice elevator with the five to six level the overhead traction machine is probably geared has 1:1 roping. With adding a new landing in the basement, the hoist ropes would have to replaced with longer ones.

The winding drum machines I've seen were counter-weighted. The hoist ropes off the back of drum guided by a deflector sheave, up the shaft over another set of sheaves, then to the counterweight. Other than getting into the machine room or least getting a good look at the sheaves top of the shaft...

Assuming it's the original machine still in service you might be able find a date on the equipment itself as when it was manufactured Look for a metal plate on the machine with the model specs,etc also the controller relay panel, plus if there a disconnect switch like a fuse box with a lever or ...

Very informative video using Lego's was quite ingenious I was a maintenance engineer iat a hotel several years ago. Six story building geared traction machines 1:1 roping MG set. In the machine room for the lobby elevator the floor selector was left intact after modernizing to solid start control...

That is the Motor-Generator set running in the machine room, and yes it's a basement traction machine probably geared with 1:1 roping It's the opposite with an overhead traction with MG set, the noise decreases as the car descends MG sets cycle off after a period of idle operation with the contro...

Excellent Performance I wish I had been there in person to hear this wonderful piece by Tiffany Ng. I grew up in Berkeley, CA Sather Tower was no stranger to me, I remember when I was a child going up the observation deck for the 1st time with my mother.

very lovely performance....... quite a talented musician.

I have not seen a traction elevator with this sort of a structure with the machine beams anchored it's more common the steel beams supporting the weight of the machine would be anchored to the floor base. I can't tell if the blocks have cross bracing front to back or to the floor. I would be conc...

Quite an interesting elevator, years ago the SH Kress store in Berkeley, CA had a 2:1 overhead traction fright elevator. the sheave was mounted in the center at top of the cab, counterweight frame ran parallel to the guide rails. I've never seen this type of 2;1 roping sheaves on both side of ...

The 24th and Mission Street Bart Station has a dual crossover track switch w/ four

switches. As the train approached westbound switched over to the eastbound track before entering 24th Street. Also if the train came to the end of the line on the west side platform it can be switched over to the e...

So this is an MRL two level traction elevator? Quite interesting, I've seen a few 2 story traction elevators at Kaiser Medical Center in Oakland, CA From what I have researched MRL traction elevators are relativity new making the in-road in the late 80's or early 90's. Compared to the overhead b...

I did a bit more "digging" this is a double wrapped traction machine. the hoist ropes pass around the secondary (defector) sheave back over the driven sheave thus the traction of the ropes is increased. Also the ropes from the elevator cab passover the deflector sheave then under the driven sheav...

Wow...now that is a serious tape machine digital tape counter 10.5 reels awesome!

Bet it cost big bucks! High end, serious machines I've seen have been Tascam, Foster, etc. This one dwarfs my Teac A2300S

When the down button of a hydraulic elevator is pressed, a solenoid valve with in the power unit opens, the weight of the elevator cab and it's passengers forces the hydraulic oil inside the cylinder back into the oil tank, as the cab descends. Hench the rushing water sound.

at my old job was an Otis Hydraulic fright elevator installed maybe in the early 20'or 30's. Which used water with a lubricant addictive, machine was an over-sized pedestal style sump pump 5H 3 Phase 208V. Tank was about 3 feet square. Big problem if the water level dropped, pump did not prime. S...

There are a number of geared traction machines with DC motors with an M.G. for each one. Go to wonder why not upgrade to VFVV AC motors when the controllers were replaced? Those Motor Generators are sure not going to win any award for energy efficient.

Reading the most recent posting, sounds like the elevator has not been dealt with at all. Still being used by tenants of that building? I don't understand why it's not been red-tagged. With that loud noise coming from the machine room and erratic braking there's got to be major trouble with the m...

Dr. Smith would indeed look "quite silly" hanging by his toes in outer space. It is interesting to see him do the opposite from the Reluctant Stowaway, in Time

Merchant. I do "wonder" when the hatch closed on him, why did he not simply press the outer hatch button and escape? The gang plank was...

This was a great prime time drama. I liked Kristy McNichol in her role as Buddy. There was a girl named Anne in my high school graduating class, who looked just like Kristy. According to I.M.D.B. James Broderick passed away on November 1st 1982 (55) It's sad he was a fine actor and still young. H...

the appearance of the space pot in Kidnapped in Space is a mystery never was explained "where it came from" The 1st time that hatch was seen in Wild Adventure

Don's coming out with a space suit appears to be a storage room. Noted two laser rifles on the back wall, then in season 3 it was an air...

very well done presentation! Looking at past eras of Ham Radio equipment and it's control operator they did indeed have a real sense of accomplishment. Historical

radios and electronics is amazing, and advances in technology to present day. I'm a Ham since 2006, I did not go to HRO and buy a d...

Where I once worked in a six story hotel, with two traction elevators The Lobby elevator went to 3,4,,5,6. The 2nd elevator on the "G" level stairway to the lobby,

traveled floors 2,3,4,5,6. Both were overhead 1::1 traction machines with an M.G.

set. Machine room for G elevator was elevated abo...

I used to live in Oakland about a mile from 40th and Broadway where the robbery went down , Chew was shot. I remember the article in the Oakland Tribune in early

1991. There was a Rescue 911 segment in Oakland where Oakland Police were searching for a missing cab, after the driver radioed dispat...

Quite an interesting video with the dark background and shine of the plastic bag she zipped herself into. The bag fits like a glove with room to spare, seems to be having fun, trying out something different. PS other videos were awesome!

Quite an interesting video of plastic enclosures inflating and deflating . The light teal color blends in quite well. I've never experimented with submerged plastic I bet it is quite a rush. Inflated you could stay in a while, I myself being like-open minded I'd give it a shot!
