This is sort of an obscure question...
Has anyone ever toured or been inside a machine room (room with motor and
control equpment and such) for an elevator? I'd really like to get to see
the machine room for the 3 elevators in the building I live in, but I'm not
sure how you "ask" about that. I'm concerned that it sounds kind of odd at
the other end (to the people in charge); it's something most people don't
care about or take for granted, but I have a high level of interest in.
How do I explain to the building manager "Um yeah, I'm like... an elevator
enthusiast..." :-/ Maybe if I said I was writing a paper for school or
something on lifts, and wanted some pictures of the hoisting equipment.
Maybe I'm better to pursue that elevator testing tower down near Dundas,
west of 427?
