The severed rope

Read the full story

In 1854 Elisha Otis demonstrated his safety brake in New York by standing on a platform and ordering its rope cut. The short fall stopped, addressing a practical fear of vertical transport: protection when the main lifting support fails.

Shopping upstairs

An 1857 department store.

Read the full story

In 1857 Otis installed its first passenger elevator in New York’s five-storey E.V. Haughwout department store. Safety became part of the shopping experience, connecting mechanical technology with public access to upper floors and the way commercial buildings could be used.
