Marketplace find of the week: two Otis Elevator Co. storage cabinets in pretty good shape. The brass handles are a nice touch.

Made by Livingston & Co. in Philadelphia, I wonder what their original use was? My theory is that they were accessories to elevators and held spare parts and maintenance items.

A couple of dents ands bent spots were repaired and now they sit flat and the doors close smoothly!

Swivel pad C-clamp locking pliers are a lifesaver when working with sheet metal.

When elevators were cool

[historysisco]

On This Day in New York City History March 23, 1857: The first commercial passenger elevator is installed by Elisha Graves Otis in the E.V. Haughwout Building. The Haughwout Building was home to a five-story department store at 488 Broadway on the corner of Broadway and Broome Street in what is today the SOHO neighborhood of NYC. The elevator came at a cost of $300 dollars which in today's dollars would cost $10,373.79.

What made Otis' elevator successful and revolutionary was the safety brake that prevented the elevator from falling. The creation of safe elevators led to building being built higher up into the sky. Life as we know it in vertical cities of today wouldn't be what they are without the Otis elevators.

The Magic of the Lift

Imagine starting your day with the sunrise gently warming your face. As you step into your apartment building, you press the button for the lift. Within moments, the doors slide open, and you step in, ascending effortlessly to your apartment on the top floor. This simple yet profound invention is the lift, or elevator, a device that has transformed the way we live, work, and move through the world.

The lift is a marvel of engineering and design. At its core, a lift is a vertical transport system that carries people and goods between floors in buildings. Its invention revolutionized architecture and urban planning, allowing buildings to reach new heights. Before the lift, constructing multi-story buildings was impractical due to the difficulty of climbing stairs. With the lift, architects could design skyscrapers and high-rises, reshaping city skylines and making tall buildings accessible to everyone.

But the lift is more than just a mechanical marvel. It’s a gateway to possibilities. Think about a high-rise apartment with a view of the city skyline or an office building where you work on the 50th floor. The lift makes these experiences possible, providing convenience and accessibility. It enables people with mobility challenges to access different levels of a building, making modern life more inclusive.

Let’s take a journey back in time. The concept of the lift dates back to ancient civilizations. The earliest lifts were simple hoists used to raise goods and people. The Romans had a version that used a counterweight system, operated by pulling ropes. These early lifts were rudimentary but laid the groundwork for more sophisticated designs. It wasn’t until the 19th century, with the advent of electric motors, that lifts became more common and reliable. The invention of the safety brake by Elisha Otis in 1853 was a game-changer. His innovation ensured that if the lift’s cable broke, the lift would not fall, making it safe for everyday use.

The modern lift operates using a system of pulleys, cables, and counterweights. When you press the button, a signal is sent to the lift's control system, which moves the lift car to your floor. The car, held up by cables and guided by rails, glides smoothly up and down. In high-rise buildings, lifts use advanced technology like gearless traction systems and microprocessors to ensure efficiency and comfort. Some lifts even have glass walls, offering panoramic views as you ascend, turning a simple ride into a breathtaking experience.

Lifts are also evolving with technology. In smart buildings, lifts are integrated with building management systems, optimizing energy use and improving user experience. Innovations such as touchless controls and artificial intelligence are making lifts more responsive and efficient. Some futuristic designs even include lifts that travel diagonally or rotate, offering new ways to navigate space.

Here’s a fascinating fact: The tallest lift in the world is located in the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the tallest building on the planet. This lift travels at a speed of 10 meters per second (about 22 miles per hour) and serves the building’s 163 floors. It’s a testament to how far lift technology has come since its early days.

The lift is a symbol of progress and possibility. It represents the human desire to reach new heights, to make life easier, and to connect people to different spaces. Whether it’s the daily convenience of moving between floors or the thrill of ascending a towering skyscraper, the lift is an integral part of modern life.

So the next time you step into a lift, take a moment to appreciate its history and the way it enhances our lives. It’s not just a mechanical device; it’s a marvel of engineering that bridges the gap between different levels of our world, making our lives more accessible and connected.

CW: Yandere Themes, Slight Spoilers for Penacony's Story Quest

I keep thinking about this one dialogue option somewhere in the Penacony Quest, where if you ask Aventurine to give you more money, he immediately sends you more, which led me to think about how Yandere!Aventurine would most definitely love to spend as much money on you as he can as a way of convincing you to stay with him, which led to this little drabble. Enjoy!

⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆

Aventurine loves to take you shopping.

Whether it's the gilded streets of Oti Mall or the luxury departments of Pier Point, as long as the price tags are exorbitant and the clothes are high quality, Aventurine loves to take you on shopping sprees. Together, the two of you peruse store after store, boutique after boutique, shop after shop. Try and ask the gambler why and he’ll only flash you a casual smirk, drawing you closer to him and interlacing one of his hands with yours. “Do I need a reason why, love?” He questions, pulling you towards him gently and guiding you to the elevator of his penthouse. 

He can still recall the look in your eyes when he first invited you out to dinner in Pier Point. Aventurine had planned the date perfectly by getting a reservation to some state-of-the-art interactive dining experience that would surely impress you. However, once the two of you had been seated at your table, he saw you looking at your menu, eyes full of fear at the long trains of zeros preceding every item. It was a sight he’d never forget. Instantly, he told you he would pay for it all, and despite your best protests, nothing could stop him from giving the server his card

Tonight you and him are back in Pier Point, revisiting some of your favorite shops. Or rather, the shops that garnered the most wide-eyed reactions from you after entering them for the first time. You were never forthright about the shops and brands you liked, as if you didn’t want to return and buy more from them. No matter. Aventurine is always careful to gauge your reactions, a smile falling on his lips every time he sees that starstruck innocence in your gaze.

Your pure soul is so fragile. He could shatter it with a single breath. A flick of a finger. A silent stare. He knows firsthand how quickly that golden glow can fade away. So can’t he just have this? Him and you attached at the hip, the perfect image of lovers in every passing stranger’s eyes; completely in sync, moving to rhythms and melodies only he and you can hear.

He’s well aware that his grasp on you in this dance may be too tight and controlling as he forces you along with him in this spiritual tango, but he has good intentions. He knows it. You know it. It’s why you let him care for you, let him pick out your outfits and take care of your finances. Aventurine knows best. After all, he’s seen the worst parts of the world and climbed out of his own personal slice of hell. The universe is a cruel place and all he wants to do is shield you from it all by protecting the gold in your heart and the stars in your eyes. The boutiques are all devoid of anything befitting of your beauty, not that Aventurine cares. It just means he gets to go order something custom-made, tailored to fit you and match him perfectly, arguably even better than going out and buying something from a store. While it pleases him enough to know he’s paying for you, when he sees you all dressed up and matching him to a T in shades of green and gold–well, that’s an entirely different level of satisfaction.

As you begin the walk back to Aventurine’s penthouse apartment, the gambler is already looking online for new designers to contact. You ask him why he’s doing this. Once again, a soft smirk plays on Aventurine’s lips. “For starters, you look gorgeous in them,” he says, squeezing your hand a little tighter as the two of you fight your way through boulevards bustling with people. “It also makes it easier to find you in crowds when you’re all dressed up,” he adds, pausing for a moment. “And I don’t want to lose you, my love.” Aventurine lifts your hand up, softly whispering his words against the skin of your knuckles before he presses a chaste kiss to the back of your hand.

For a moment, there’s a slight tremor in his voice, his hand clenching even tighter around your own. It’s as though he’s afraid that if he relinquishes his hold on your hand, he won’t just lose you in the crowd, but forever.

The unspoken reason–that he likes to make sure everyone knows you’re his lover–lingers in the air around you like arms around your shoulders.
