Text Summary of Clinton Township Lift Galore: August 2021

1. Concourse at Beaver Brook 

These lifts are very nice OTIS Series 1 glass hydros from the 80s with digital floor indicators on 211 LVM microprocessor controllers. These are goats. They break down often but they do have their quirks to them, e.g. intelligent leveling, jolty startups & speedy accelerated positioning systems. They are very fast for their rise & what they are as they travel around 135' per minute despite only going a few floors. 3.7 stars on the GC Lift Character Report. 

2. Independence Building 

Dover Impulse lift from the 80s with sticky buttons. This lift has a mirror front & travels a speed of 135' per minute just like the other one. 4.1 stars on the GC Lift Character Report due to its semi loud motor, jolty leveling & very quick startup & smooth stopping. This is the first non OTIS or GAL lift I found in Clinton Township. 

3. Corbit Building 

OTIS Series 1 from the 80s, but this time on a relay logic controller with analog floor indicator in green. This lift is epic & awesome as it vibrates & has a loud motor going up & has a suction sound from the pump going down. The door is quite clunky. 3.5 stars on the GC Lift Character Report. 

4. Quincy Building 

Nearly the same lift as the Corbit building but has only 2 floors & runs slightly differently. It doesn't jolt but starts up very smoothly going up, has a quieter motor, darker cab & higher pitched chimes. This lift is slower going up than it is going down which is the opposite from the Corbit building but still has the same analog floor indicator. It bounces quite a bit before dropping down when going down. 4.1 stars on the GC Lift Character Report.

Found the source of the problems with my PC

I am proud to finally tell y’all that I believe I have found a definite source of the problems I have been experiencing with my Windows PC over the past few days. It was because of a faulty Windows 10 preview update which was affecting the Windows 10 Recovery Environment. Luckily, I have found a trustworthy program (free of malware) which I could use to debug errors in my PC at any time, minor or major. Luckily,  none of the problems I am experiencing with my PC right now are  anywhere close to what’s happened when I tried to fix windows PC’s in the past. I am still taking  every precaution possible to further decrease the chance of my Windows PC breaking down or crashing. As a matter of fact, my PC almost crashed  this morning , but luckily, I was able to hard-restart the PC to get it working again by holding the power button down for 15-20 seconds. Luckily,  none of the problems I am experiencing with my PC right now are  anywhere close to what’s h...

LIFT FILMING AGENDA UPDATE 1.25.2019 & WILL CHICAGO BE CROWNED THE NEW KING?

Chicago holds a high possibility of being crowned first place . What if I told you that Chicago has some rare and exotic lifts that you probably won’t find in many other places in the U.S.? That is an existence a lift filmer will be delighted with when they go to the city of Chicago. My four figures of reference were: WI Sirens and Elevators Elevators of Lake County CHI Elevators Windy City Elevators Because I have found so many outstanding Montgomery, Dover, SchindlerHaughton, Westinghouse and KONE lifts throughout the city of Chicago, it wouldn’t be sensible for me to write it all under one big blog post, because it would be a big waste of time for me to go into big, elaborate detail on what made each lift stand out. What I found on YouTube in terms of Chicago lifts Mitsubishi and Fujitec These lift filmers have walked around the city of Chicago filming some super nice lifts, and in the process of watching YouTube videos over the past few months, I have found that Ch...

QUICK RUNDOWN OF THE NORMAL BEHAVIOR OF A 700A

Tallest 700A’s I have been on Arguably, at 20 stories, these have been the tallest Schindler 700A’s I have EVER been on, and the first I’ve been on in a hotel. However, I have noticed some interesting characteristics of the Schindler 700A in mid to high rise applications. Epic lifts indeed To start off, these lifts had absolutely incredible acceleration, deceleration and leveling. They take off like rockets and travel at a mindblowing speed of 120 meters per minute, despite serving a travel distance of 55-60 meters. The deceleration is similar to the Schindler 700A’s at the Nordstrom store at the Mall at Short Hills, as it smoothly phases into its full deceleration mode. In terms of character, these lifts do tend to make a little bit of noise and shake on the way up and down the tower. Car 3 makes a very loud screeching noise as it accelerates towards level 17 going down, which I find to make the ride even more fun. These lifts were installed in 1993, which gives them even more 199...
