The original edition of Elevators was published in 1961 (when traction elevators were prominent) and is pertinent today, since most of these outdated elevators are candidates for modernization. Elevators describes the details of the equipment and practices of 1961 and earlier. It provides vital information to anyone contemplating modernization or involved in the maintenance of such equipment. Frederick A. Annett was a technician, and much of the information is valuable to mechanics as well as service representatives.
