Riding the fast elevators at the Chase Tower in Downtown Rochester, New York. These elevators are still relay-controlled and thus accelerate to about 5 m/s in only 3 stages! These are the fastest-acceleating elevators I've ever been on.

That elevator does look really fast. A lot of the old Dover/Turnbull elevators have that kind of indicator

Nixie tubes would not display solid, bold numbers like that. You would see the other digits and the numbers would appear very orange and thin.

What for a kind of indicator is that?

@TheNrwskyrock It uses two dials w/ transparencies for each number.
