A rare STILL WORKING Schlieren elevator, installed in 1955. First we have a short history of Schlieren (which is actually the name of a town), then we'll see this lift in action, mrmattandmrchay style - which means PLENTY of attention to detail! This has been another massive editing project, really hope you enjoy watching it :) TO MY VIEWERS: I'm hoping we've done enough to be worthy of your consider LIKING the video and SUBSCRIBING to the mrmattandmrchay channel - thank you very much! .......... LINKS: 1940 OLD SCREW FACTORY LIFT: 1952 OLD LIFT CLUTCH (dark lift shaft & switches): SLIP RING MOTOR - HOW IT WORKS (as shown at 9:40): .......... THE MRMATTANDMRCHAY CHANNEL, established 2008: I'm passionate about uploading quality and interesting videos for YOU, my audience. What is my channel about? "Old lift machinery made interesting", old air-raid sirens, prehistoric alarm equipment. If "I" don't find it interesting ...then IT DOESN'T GET UPLOADED! I always spend a lot of time editing my videos with animations, video in-sync with music and voice overs to bring you QUALITY videos to watch. My moto - "Quality NOT Quantity" - spending two months editing a video is not a rarity! But without you, I'm nothing here, so thank you much for watching. ...mrmattandmrchay is me (Matt) and my son Chay. .......... LIFT IDIOCY WITH KIDS: ''Some channels'' treat playing around in lift shafts as something 'fun'. Even meeting up with kids and taking them into lift shafts to go 'lift surfing' with them. The consequences: Also featured in THE SUN and THE MIRROR newspapers: My channel does not promote or glamourise dangerous activities like lift surfing.
