That is probably part of the reason why this elevator has already lasted close to 100 years. This is the break for the voice machine teh brake. We have the original controller here. Fortunately, the power is turned off. This room was built in 1913, but the National Elevator cut actually was not introduced until 1921. Tell us about this antique controller. What makes it different from a modern controller . The elevator is running on the original d. C. Power. Really simple in operation.
