Funny Sounds! United States Hydraulic Elevator-ARC Library-Sacramento, CA
Here is the final elevator I'm posting from here. There is one more elevator but it's not even finished being built yet. This is one of the original elevators on campus. This was a US elevator but it looks like something much older than that. I can't find any signs of the original brand. Maybe this was always a US. Who knows. The curved door frames are what's stumping me. This mod is wack. It's a mix of Innovation, ERM, and OTIS. Also, look at that weird cover where the original indicator was. It looks stupid lol. The motor is nice and sounds very similar to the Briggs Hall elevators at UCD. This thing sounds wonderful and makes all kinds of noise. For being in a library, this elevator sure ain't quiet!
