This time, we ride the Otis Series 5 Hydraulic Elevator at the Leominster Public Library, Leominster, Massachusetts.
  As you may have noticed, we start in the Penthouse, because that is where the least activity was, and since the Johnny Appleseed Festival was happening right outside, doing this at the ground floor was impossible, and would attract attention that's not needed.
  We do a round trip, and note the back door (and of course, the "R" buttons) are staff selections, and you'd need a key card to use them (hence the reader).
  Like any Gen2 hydraulic, creaky as all hell, but the ride was very smooth. The slowdowns to level are a little sudden, though.
