We ride a classic B&A Traction Elevator, in an office building at 76 Summer Street, Fitchburg, Massachusetts. I used to come here frequently to visit one of the tennants, and only rode the elevator ONCE over the years! :)
  The elevator was revisited, and I TRULY didn't remember it. I always thought it was an Otis Series 1. El-Wrongo.
   The ride itself is actually nice, but slow. It is a little jerky when it comes to starting, approaching leveling speed, and stopping. You can hear the motor a lot better at the top, being it's a top drive. The counter, like the B&A in Fitchburg's City Hall, is Schindler-Like, being a floor ahead of itself.
