Otis Traction Elevator at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta

Video of a newish Otis traction elevator at Grady memorial hospital in Downtown Atlanta, Georgia. Note that they used the European convention of floor numbering by going from G, then 1 instead of 2. Also, there’s a 13th floor – in a building that old!!! That’s rare, especially for an older building.
