I am trying to figure out the specifications of the Otis gearless hoist motors in the New York city woolworth building. I have a copy of a book page that reads that the building retains the Otis original gearless machines. The page copy shows a photo of the hoist motor If any,what machine type number is used on on the machine spec plates?

The elevator machines are still the original otis hoist motors. I can pull the spec data off the machine plates if you tell me why you are interested.
