Welcome. We are here doing our building San Francisco tour. Were going to have a very interesting tour of elevators in sanford cisco. We have all gotten into an elevator, the doors have closed, and it has carried us to our destination. Have you ever wondered how elevators were work . We check out the need outside the elevator using Current Technology and we learn about the latest destination elevated technology all here in San Francisco. We will also visit the machinery where all the behind thescenes gears control these incredible machines. We are very fortunate today to have an expert with those who is going to walk us are around elevators in San Francisco. Can you tell us about the history of elevators in San Francisco .

Doing a special series about staying safe. Lets look at issues of water and sewer. We are here at the San Francisco urban center on Mission Street in San Francisco and im joined today by marrielen from puc and talk about water and sewer issues. What are things we should be concerned about water. You want to be prepared for that scenario and the recommendation is to have stored 1 gallon per person per day that you are out of water. We recommend that you have at least 35 days for each person and also keep in consideration storage needs for your pets and think about the size of your pets and how much water they consume. The storage which is using tap water which you are going to encourage. Right. Of course at the puc we recommend that you store our wonderful delicious tap water. Its free. It comes out of the tap and you can store it in any plastic container, a clean plastic container for up to 6 months. So find a container, fill it with water and label it and rotate it out.

Clock in the st. Francis. Lets look at that elevator. Ok, lets do it. Here we are in the elevator installed as part of the expansion, and this is the way it was originally installed about 100 years ago. It has a manual switch just like elevators did back then, and it runs on dc power. This was from a time before elevators ran on ac power. When did they switch . Decided to switch in the 1920s, so this elevator predicts that by about 19 years. The doors are also manual, so this elevator predates the use of Automatic Doors on elevators. Can we take a ride . Absolutely. Going down. How many troops do you think this elevator has taken in its lifetime . Millions. Yes, this one probably has. Certainly hundreds of thousands. Very smooth. It really does run smoothly. There we go. Take some serious operation. There we go. This is really beautiful. This is served by that old elevator we were just in. Built at the same time, also in 1913. What a gorgeous room. I think we should have a party here.
