      +TheElevator&AlarmGeek They really did do an awesome job. I know you already saw the video, but 11:26, this is what I was talking about with how the fire alarms are tied into the elevators in some buildings. The elevator recalled when the smoke detector was activated. It really is a nice safety feature, and I was shocked when you told a technician told you the fire alarms have nothing to do with the elevators. Looks like an old Faraday or Simplex horn in this video.

  • @blue.light.fazbear

    Although the US elevator will be missed, I think ThyssenKrupp did a really nice job on this modernization! Probably my favorite part of the mod was how they made use of the old US lantern, and integrated their own features with it (the chime, the white lights, etc).

    • @DieselDucy

      @msj191961 Před 8 lety +1

      +NewEnglandElevators I wonder exactly how they did that. While they could have just replaced the bulbs with LED's and added the electronic chime, they could have also completely replaced the guts of the lantern and just kept the face plate. Something to think about, haha.

      +msj191961 i know a lot of TK elevators in my local area that, who I personally know the owner of, complain how much time and money they need to invest into their one TK elevator because of how often it breaks down. Wish it was Otis.

    • @msj191961
      @msj191961 Před 8 lety

      +Steven Kokko Hmm, I guess I really haven't talked to building owners, but I have personally experienced new TK installations and modernizations that have been incredibly nice. Otis is alright, but in my opinion, their elevators are just too generic sometimes. I mainly like TK because I love Dovers, and TK is Dover now, and I think they've kept making really nice elevators. It's just personal opinion I guess.

      +DieselDucy My high school is 6 floors and the passenger elevator (used to be a 30s otis modded with CJ Anderson and Generic) goes 200 ft/min. The problem is that each floor is 16 ft apart from each other and it takes five seconds to clear each level. Still faster than running down the stairs. One of the security guards there says it goes the speed of molasses and whats even more stupid is it's traction! Do you think ThyssenKrupp should come to my school during the summer and make the speed 500 ft/min or not?
