Elevator overspeed governor sensor

I had a lot of fun in an elevator that seemed to be moving too fast once.. Man it was great.. Though, when it came to a stop at the bottom, it made me momentarily weak-knee'd.

It was in a 44-floor hotel in NY (NY Hilton Tower).. When I jumped while it was going down, I got about three and a half feet off the ground.. So fun.. though, if I would have jumped as high as I could, I'm sure I would've hit my head on the ceiling..

Towers that size usually have carspeeds > 1200 FPM traction lifts. Older ones (General and Otis in particular) were very swift accelerating and slowing at landing approach. The 600 fpm Westinghouse selectomatics were downright ridiculous open springing open the car and landing doors while the car was still leveling often off by six inches into the zone! A lawsuit in the making!

Kids often jump up and down while riding causing the cables to bounce and this can trigger an overly sensitive traditional centrifugal trip type overspeed governor hence the photoelectric reference. The amount of nuisance calls to building engineers is ridiculous to reset the switches.
