Old Otis Traction Elevator at Grady Hospital in Atlanta

Video of an older Otis traction elevator at Grady Memorial Hospital in Downtown Atlanta, Georgia. Note how they use the european convention for floor numbering. And, there's a 13th floor, in an old building!!! That's extremely rare, especially for a building that old!

If you happen to come down to SFL, you should check out the Memorial Hospital down in Hollywood. They've got an interesting variety of elevators. Not gonna give to much away, but happen to have tons of separate elevator banks that are close together for some odd reason. In fact, in small one hallway alone, I counted 15 elevators. I don't know the exact, but I did ride an elevator that was labeled as elevator 31 if that doesn't tell you how many there are there.

So have the fixtures been moderinized?

@musicfreakcc nice that still runs that well. those buttons are clean. another acme floor counter. Umass Amherst had still has one elevator like that. search for 'Umass Amherst GRC elevator'.

Nice elevator, but the part left out was 'tour of the basement of Grady Hospital'. Why did you decide not to go to floor 'B' especially in this video?
