For Your Information

Lebras, from France, tells me with regards to the next 3 images:

"These pictures show an Otis European model installed from approximatively 1965-1975 in low and middle rise appartments and office buildings."

Load: 4/5/7/12 persons
Speed: AC 0.80 m/s - 1.00m/s
Speed: DC 1.50 m/s
Rise: 18 floors maximum

"These units were prefabricated in the Gien factory (France)
The car was delivered to the field completely assembled and fitted.
It was put in place mainly by field crane. We had to install only the ropes, traveller and selector tape (if provided).
The crosshead was made of bent iron sheet.

"The car was provided with:
Center-opening doors
A 955OT door operator with plastic pinion and door contacts around countershaft
U shaped door vane
Reopening door contact situated at the end of the operator arm near door vane.
Safeties coupling rod under the inspection box.

"This product was manufactured at many X 10,000 units."

Thank you Lebras!
