ELEVATOR FROM 1905 - Explaining the logic + floor selector in action.

I've gone to a lot of time and effort to explain how some of this lift and it's logic works.
But it's what you come to expect in a mrmattandmrchay video... everything explained in detail, in a way that anyone can understand. All my videos are aimed with this in mind, beginners are always welcome!

None of this stuff has moved since 1988!
Hope you enjoy the video and thank you for watching :)

Thank to Pete Lomas for the help to understand the circuit logic.

I love explaining stuff to you guys, but I will never show the actual handling of heavy duty switch gear. I always treat the equipment as live, as it trains your mind NOT to touch stuff like this. There can be no mistakes, you touch it and it's live with 415VAC then it's game over for you - YOU DIE!

This technology is BRUTAL!! It's not complicated, but it's amazing what they had to do, what they had to build, to make the lift do basic functions that TODAY we wouldn't even think about.

There are metal contacts everywhere and you'd be killed working on this antique machinery unless it is switched off.
Since 1988, the shaft has been sealed and the motor room has been left alone.

Absolutely fascinating looking into how this machinery works and what everything does.

P1: Spooky Gas lamps, closers, toilets and VERY old lift technology
P2: With the combination of five separate visits, I show you in detail everything in this motor room.
P3: Let's move some stuff! - Prodding and touching stuff!
P4: How it works, using sketches and animations

APOLOGIES to make so many parts, but I don't like making really long videos for a couple of reasons 1) People don't like watching long videos, 2) These videos take ages to edit, and if I split the parts up you get to see them quicker!
Some people have accused me of dragging out the video for more revenue - This is the OPPOSITE of what I stand for. I'm NOT a money type person and I have a day job which pays me much more than youtube!
