This is the rather strange Beckwith/Monty Hydraulic Elevator, at the Westford Public Library, Westford, Massachusetts. This is one of those rare occasions that we have a 2-speed door in the CENTER of the cab, but that's not the weird part. As you'll see, the other 2-speed door is on one side, like you normally see. The weird part is, the centered one opens in the direction it SHOULDN'T! That's right, the direction where apparently wasn't room for doors on the main side. I got to come back here and retake this, one, I'd like to see what odd shape this shaft is in, and it got busy at the end, so I had to abort.
