We ride a pair of 3'rd Party Westinghouse Traction Elevators, inside the Saks 5'th Avenue, at the Prudential Center, Boston, Massachusetts. How can one tell it's Otis-Westy? The best way is the floor counter above the doors. Westy number strips, Otis arrows. It took a moment to figure it's one of the Dual-Effort installs, because of the BEAUTIFUL Dinner Bells Westy is famous for, yet the Otis lantern arrows got me for a moment, and a Westy-style cab, but then figured it out. The ride is good, but the Speed Deltas are quite much for 300FPM. Not as bad as the 200FPM at the former G.E. Plant in Fitchburg (Ma.).
