  • more like FRIGHT elevator..

    AMMIRITE?

  • @LemonStamp Not really, that elevator is perfectly safe, and has been so since it was installed around 1930.

  • Is that the one in the tunnel under Elmwood?

  • It was on the lower level. I'm not a student there, so I wouldn't know its relationship to the tunnel system.

  • @musicfreakcc Is it located in rochester?

  • @anglerfly Look at the title.

  • at my old hardware store job, there was an Otis hydraulic fright elevator probably installed in the early 30's. Had three landings, an 8 inch piston, large water

    hydro tank, 5HP 3 Phase motor. Sometimes the water level dropped a bit

    pump did not prime. Fill her up! A nearby SH Kress had a fright elevator

    (as seen video) but smaller 2:1 overhead traction.

  • @musicfreakcc glad you got the joke, mate.

  • i still use these

  • you can't lie and tell me you weren't secretly hoping the elevator would stop working midway and you'd be stuck there to film a week-long documentary of yourself surviving the void...

  • @musicfreakcc Is this a original moter it uses?

  • SCARY! lol
