@Boxfan2008 True, an Elevator like this could NEVER be geared.
-
I Can Hear Newer Gearless Traction Motors Upstairs.

L is the lobby, which this place has 2 of them interestingly, because in 1931 when this place opened, wives would wait in the sub-lobby and the husbands settled the hotel bill in the main lobby. G is ground.
-
I have no clue where your getting these were installed in 1923, these were installed in 1930/31. And I think the moderization was early 1990's. These looked the same in 2001, so definitely before then.

What is on G? What is on L?

These elevators could not have been installed in 1923. The Waldorf Astoria did not open till around 1931-1933. The original Waldorf Astoria Hotel was demolished for the construction of the Empire State Building which opened in 1931.
