Interesting! I was surprised to see such a large machine for just a small apartment building elevator. I’m assuming 57 machines were made at the same time as the 18/28/38 machines?
Quite an interesting floor selector vertical array in the controller, yes those are floor relays on each side of the floor selector. The geared DC traction machine is quite large. Find it odd, the controller voltage is 240V I would expect it be higher in the 440-480V range since the data plate on the MG set indicated the AC motor was for 240/480.The DC hoist motor is drawing more current at the lower voltage.
Looks like an early 1960s vintage installation. Also, the leveling seems to take a long time. However, Westinghouse controllers can be adjusted for a quicker floor to floor and leveling time.
It’s a 2C2BCERL with an SN selector and SR relays. Made from 1950 to 1963. 57 machines were quiet popular at the time.

boy brings back memories, lots of night calls on those babies.
I love the sound of the selector
Honestly it's kind of soothing
That's a thing of beauty!
And a joy forever.
That is a really cool machine room
That's an amazing motor room. Probably the best I've seen!
i guess it's quite off topic but do anybody know of a good place to watch new series online?
@Cairo Gus i watch on Flixzone. Just google for it =)
@Cairo Gus lately I have been using FlixZone. Just search on google for it =)
@Jaxson Jake Definitely, been watching on flixzone for months myself =)
@Jaxson Jake definitely, been using flixzone for since april myself :)

Wow, that is pretty unique!
Roto-trol selector, that's an oldie. Something missing without that "generator whine." Nice
SN selector. Not rotortrol, you’re thinking RSBL.
@@dellcl oops
Rare catch 👍
worked on a lot of those
No way!!
Is this in Denver or Chicago?
Floridian Elevators Chicago
Wow very interesting
1:30 Do not swear in the presence of majesty.
Haha
need to find a "Syncro-glide" lol
Right there with you on the spider web comments. Can't stand em.
Stupid programming︰takes ages to level …… needs retuning to speed up the levelling process.
