Elveden Centre Series - Otis Traction at the Guiness House tower

This is part II of the Eleveden Centre Series videos. I apparently forgot to put up part II and Part III after uploading Part I was back in August of 2009. So here's Part II and I will try to get Part III up soon. Notice the Parking garage levels of this bank of elevators has shorter doors on the parking levels as compared to the elevator car doors. After watching Dieselducy's recent upload which shows an elevator with this same type of idea with shorter shaft doors on soem levels it reminded me I had a video showing this as well. So here it is, but sorry about some focusing issues. This was taken with my older Sony Camara. Enjoy! Oh and of course, don't forget to check out Dieselducy's videos too at

@elevatortraction

That's what I was attempting to say. Of course, I didn't. :)

You got what I tried to say.

@georgef551 - Yes on the office levels. But all the Parkade levels are the same as the one I showed in the video. Actually, I believe I showed more than one parkade level. They are the first few floors after the Ground floor

@elevatortraction

Hmm. Overlooked that. Bad archetectural design, I guess. :)

@georgef551 -However, check it out when I am filming outside those elevators on the Parkade level. Notice the thick beam of some sort just above the elevator door frames.

@georgef551 - Exactly.

Don't know about that, because on all the other floors, the door heights are equal.

@georgef551 car may have ben replaced and they used the original doors.

[georgef551]

Shorter doors are usually for low-clearance spacing betyween floors, but these just didn't make any sense at all, being there's PLENTY of room for a full-height door.
