We get a closer look at BOTH Otis Man-Powered Elevators at the Leominster Post Office, Leominster, Massachusetts.
  Since it's quiet, you can actually hear the weak motors!
  We first ride one with "Incline Plane" Technology, which, like most Man-Powered Elevators of this kind, is not very fast, but very efficient. Then we ride the traditional "Fixed Plane" Technology, which is a little faster. Neither one was quick, though.
   Again, these old Otii both have "Classic Leveling", more so the "Fixed Incline" version.
