RARE & EPIC VOICES! Otis Elevonic 411 traction elevators at the USPTO East Garage in Alexandria VA

(📹 4/27/2024) These are some public domain (no pun intended) Otis E411 elevators at the east garage for the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in Alexandria VA. These look like your average Otis with Series 4 at first, but then you hear the very rare voices these are equipped with. These are also my very first elevators I've been on with the authentic Otis Series 4 hall lanterns and chimes (the ones you see most of the time with Series 4 COPs are actually Series 2). The voices on these are absolutely epic compared to the typical boring modern voice. There's also a Wheel-o-vator LULA I filmed here too.

I love that voice! Reminds me of the Westin Diplomat and the Center for advanced medicine

[@dmvelevatorsandmore]

It was epic. I wish they continued using it

[@harpercraft9354]

Notice how the floor indicator changes before the elevator starts moving. Just like a KONE.

[@dmvelevatorsandmore]

That's unusual for an Otis. SmartRise controllers do that too

[@Dwall44]

Cool! Also, can you start uploading more Atlantic City videos?

[@dmvelevatorsandmore]

I have plenty coming up. Check out my list of elevators I've filmed map and go to Atlantic City to see all that I have done there

[@dmvelevators]

Were the main elevators the same?

[@dmvelevatorsandmore]

You talking about the ones inside the main building? Possibly, but they are very likely turnstiled

[@UncommonElevators]

I was an intern there a few years ago and yes, the main elevators have that voice too. They are also ridiculously slow for the number of floors. They are behind turnstiles.
