I love this aspect of HN. I never would’ve known there was a community around a shared interest in elevators, yet this topic has hit the top of HN and a bunch of members of that community have all gathered here.
I remember seeing an elevator once that lit up both the up and down arrows when arriving if it didn't have a set destination yet. I called it Schroedinger's elevator -- neither going up or down until observed to move.
The call time on the incline elevator… wow you weren’t kidding.
Also, at 5m40s is that a domestic clock being used for station timekeeping? Such a shame given the rest of the station design and the amount of time and money that went into it all. Details, people. Details :)
Seems as good a place as any to OT, but does anyone know of a vacuum tube wiki?
I may have acquired some Otis elevator power(?) tubes, but have no idea where to go for part schematics or identification. I'd love to build them into a project, but am not sure where to start.
