📼Video Summary:
The elevator (or lift) has been around for almost 2000 years now. Elisha Otis invented a safety mechanism in the 1850s that allowed for widespread use. After that, elevators because the core of most buildings. Hydraulic Elevators use a cylinder and a piston to push the cab up from underneath. Traction Elevators have a motor that pulls the elevator up using cables. The Door Operator opens both doors - the Cab Door and Hoistway Door. The Interlock is the mechanism that ensures that the Hoistway Door does not open until the cab is right behind it.
