(with Dieselducy) This elevator has definitely seen better days. Its fourth floor leveling is particularly notable- the cab shudders violently and then plops about 3-4 inches above the 4th floor. The door opens, and the cab drops down a bit. Huh.

Installed- 1955
Type- Winding Drum Traction, five 1/2'' cables
Capacity- 3000 lbs
Speed- 50 feet/min
