The "Touch Tubes" were supposedly all done away with due to the fact that they are not ADA compliant and will "false fire" under certain conditions (not good while in "Fire Service Mode"). How they are still in use is beyond me?....Great technology for their time. Otis was truly @ the top of Elevator technology game until the 1980's.. Thankfully for us young apprentices who entered the industy in the 70's & 80's there were still smart "old timers" around to tech us the intricacies of keeping a "analog electronics system" like these in proper operation. Many of these guys were war veterans who learned their electronics skills in the military in radio and radar units. Thanks to all those guys👍
Thanks she goes to trinity university they really have nice elevators there her dorm hall has really nice schindlers lol i think her school has a mix of dover otis and schindler
This is an amazing set of elevators, and i've never seen these before, i thougt there were only the main bank of elevators and the service, but i guess i was wrong, the elevators are really cool tho. @DieselDucy

When the Otis wants to stop, the Otis will stop.

This was a decade ago.
Wow, a 24-floor hospital?
it surprised me too, Sarah.
These are so cool. Unfortunately, no matter what the bldg. is repurposed as, these will likely get modded.
I love San Antonio, Texas. But I’m from Alabama.
Anyone catch that there was no 16th floor and just an “X”
3:06, why is there an X instead of 16?
Probably the express zone
why does it skip 16?
Not sure
Right elevator 15-24 no 16 floor door close works left elevator no 16 floor door close works
These elevators are Amazing, Beautiful, and Epic!
Enough with stating obvious

Sadly yes
What’s here now?
From what I could gather online, there are plans to convert the building into housing and office space.
@@elevexplorer64 well that guarantees a mod

Building vacant as of now
