This hand elevator is in a grain elevator that was moved to the Sukanen Ship Pioneer
Village and Museum in Sukanen, Saskatchewan, Canada
I would not be surprised to find the grain bucket elevator behind that plywood door...

A close-up of the driving machine...
I wonder if that center device is a type of brake and/or centrifugal safety?

Callison-Lough Funeral Home in Bentonville, Arkansas, U.S.A.
I can't find the suspension rope...perhaps it is roped 2:1 underslung
and the suspension rope is hidden in the guide rails? I don't know.

I wonder if that is the brake pad and operating rope?
It looks like this elevator hit the ceiling...once or twice!
I would guess a 2X4 nailed somewhere would solve that problem...

A derelict plant...formerly Dominion Electrohome Industries in Ontario, Canada
This winding-drum, multiple v-belt driven, geared machine is unusual...to say the least!
Two car suspension ropes and a single rope for the counterweight.
Please note the slack rope switches and machine final limit switch.

Please note the unusual counterweight arrangement as well...
I wonder if those are the prints on the car top?

Somewhere in the Midwest, U.S.A.
I believe that is the brake and operating
mechanism below the hand driven sheave.
This machine appears to have two winding-drums. I think one
rope is behind the rail and goes down to the counterweight.
