An example of the Brackenridge Hospital Elevator Signal Bell

This is what the elevator bell sounds like: A 475 hertz tone that is basically one octave lower than the Dover/ThyssenKrupp direction bell. In addition, this is my 350th video. Yay!

Thanks, and I'll make a demonstration of elevator bells on my electronic piano keyboard.

Yes, and this is a GAL/PTL Performer lantern with the delta based arrow, most common on Otis elevators.

Actually, it's called a Fanned Arrow on Unitec's website.

[CaptainElevator42189]

That's correct, and I too like the fantail arrow, since it has that vintage 1950's look to it.

This is a PTL Performer lantern, with the delta based arrow lens, and the Epco lanterns have the curved base arrow lens. Maybe you can ask one of the elevator workers if they have any parts from the old elevator.

Nice direction lanterns. I was wondering to get some of those soon and where caqn you get them? I was wondering to get some Otis lanterns and displays from ILVA in lakeside since there closing down and knocking the building down.

That's correct, and it is in between the "B" & "C" notes.
