Smith, Hinchman & Grylls, Architects Page 4 PEELLESS DOORS Counterbalanced Freight Elevator Doors For all types of Elevator Enclosures P EELLE Counterbalanced Elevator Doors are adaptable to practically every freight elevator door requirement. Tlieir ease of operation and enduring construction have been proven by over twenty years of satisfactory service. Peelle Doors have been specified by architects for thousands of buildings. Counterbalanced, Peelle Doors operate vertically inside the elevator shaft affording rapid and full clearance for loading and unloading. No counterweights are used. Anti¬ friction construction; heavy sheaves provided with double race ball bearings; heavy steel guide rails; smooth running steel chains; large latch handle; balanced design of component parts; all assure smooth mechanical action of Peelle Doors. In addition to economically speeding up the handling of vertical traffic, Peelle Doors protect the elevator shafts against accident and the spread of fire. Numerous Peelle Door installations are equipped for greater efficiency with electric motors controlled by push button switch in car or on shaft side of door. They are also equipped for greater safety with electric interlocking system preventing movement of car until all doors in shaft are closed. Experienced Peelle erectors install each door, making fault- proof operation certain. Consult our Engineering Department before specifying the type of operation. _LLt» +- Page 5 PEELLE oS DOORS - ; A High Standard of Construction Built to Withstand Severe Use . Fire Resisting P iEELLE Freight Elevator Doors represent a high standard of construction. They are designed and built to render long and uninter¬ rupted service and to withstand the heaviest kind of trucking. The steel framed fireproof panels reduce to a minimum the spread of fire to other parts of the building. Aids to Safety Exceptionally large doors and shafts equipped with doors on more than one side, may be electrically oper¬ ated by means of electric motor lo¬ cated in elevator pent house and push button switch in the elevator car or on the loft side of the doors. Numerous installations of this type prove that Peelle electrically oper¬ ated doors result in greater effi¬ ciency. Consult our Engineering Department before specifying type of operation. See page 24 for addi¬ tional details. The laws of most states require that all elevator shafts must be protected against accident and the spread of fire. Peelle Doors accomplish this. They may be equipped with an elec¬ tric interlocking system which pre¬ vents movement of the elevator until all the doors in the shaft are closed. Another type of Peelle Door closes automatically when the elevator leaves the floor in either direction. This type of door is recommended for enclosures not larger than 6' wide and 1' high.

This construction is also recommended for openings of great width. Doors provided with reinforced trucking sills will be guaranteed to support such loads as specified without sag¬ ging. Quotations for furnishing doors, will in¬ clude reinforced sill only when specified. O NE of the cardinal features of Peelle Freight Elevator Doors is the Truckable sill. It bridges the gap between door opening saddle and the elevator car. This gap ranges from four to six inches. The upper edge of the lower half of the door rests rigidly level with the building floor sill. Besides being specially rein¬ forced to stand the heaviest truck¬ ing into and out of elevators, this bar extends beyond the sides of the panel of the door thus forming a bridge for smooth trucking. Inasmuch as this sill rests on heavy steel stops fastened to the guide rails, there is always perfect and rigid align¬ ment of the building floor and the trucking sill of the door. This Truck- able sill is endorsed as one of the most essential, simple and efficient features in elevator door construction.

C. terne plate. Framework is constructed of heavy angle steel which gives the door great strength and the ability to withstand severe use. The angle frame and the metal covered panels are holted together with patented combination lock nut washers, which finish flush on both sides of the door. Large (patented) anti-friction shoes operate in heavy angle steel guide rails, rigidly fastened to masonry wall construction. Peelle steel operating chains are permanently locked in place with patented locking device. These chains operate over double radial ball bearing sheaves, permitting free, easy operation of even extremely large doors. Drop forged steel adjustable turn-buckle rods aid fine adjustment. A positive action latch located at the center of each door is so designed that a slight pres¬ sure releases doors and exerts the greatest possible vertical pressure. Where greater safety is required in connection with electric inter-locking switch, special arm latches (type E switch) will be furnished if specified. (See page 29 for details of type E elec¬ tric interlocking switch combination.) These doors have passed the rigid tests and inspection of the Underwriters’ Laborator¬ ies Incorporated and hear their label. Labelled doors may not exceed 8 in width and 10' in height.

The Pass Type door embodies all of the features of the Peelle regular type door as described on Page 8. The Panels are staggered and operate on separate guide rails. When opened the upper panel of the door is permitted to pass by the lower panel of the door on the floor above, the lower panel likewise lapping the upper panel of the door on the floor below. (See details left hand side page 11.) A movable, gravity operated, fire retarding steel lintel set on the upper edge of the door, effectively seals the opening between masonry and door. Detail (on right hand side page 11) applies to elevator shaft conditions where storey heights are not uniform; one floor permitting the use of Peelle Regular Type Doors, and distance between other floors being less, Pass Type Doors are required. Also where door heights vary and floor heights are uniform, Pass Type and Regular Type doors are used in conjunction with each other. Regular and Pass Type Doors are installed one above the other to cover both these con¬ ditions. An extended trucking sill is provided on the Regular Type Doors to bridge the clearance between elevator car and building floor sill. The Underwriters and Factory Mutual Companies label will be furnished with all Pass Type doors when specified. 1 ■KM safe wBHmMm Opening width- uatwks, s/Z/s one/ Z/nte/ fry others f,/era tor car Horizontal Section Thru Peelle Metal Clad Pass Type Door Page 10 MM Upper pane/ Truckable sill lower /sane/■ •HU? ;lle Pass Type Counterbalanced Doors Underwriters 9 Labelled lower pore/ So ■^1 on in s/de face lyi/. floor upper panel Trackoble 5l/l Vertical SectionThruPeeueMetalClad Pass Type Door, Showing Extension Sill On Regular Door Above Upper panel Trockab/esni Champ strips set on inside face of door lower panel Vertical Section Thru Peelle Metal Clad Pass Tape Door ••MS!

If no iron bucks are provided, and the jambs are of plain brick or con¬ crete, the angle rail is reversed and the horizontal leg is bolted to the wall with through bolts. The construction in all other details remain unchanged. While Peelle Doors can be attached to walls of any construction, best results are obtained when channel or angle iron bucks securely anchored to the wall are provided. Plain terra cotta walls do not offer secure anchorage. The elevator shaft wall should be plumb and free from projections on the side at which the doors are to he installed. The openings should be built with the jambs flush with wall and in vertical alignment. Angle or channel jambs must be provided and set to reinforce hollow tile walls and should ex¬ tend from sill to beam. Pressed metal bucks must be reinforced with internal angle on shaft side for fastening of Peelle rails. If doors are installed directly above the elevator pit, it is necessary that the latter be deep enough to receive the lower half of the door in its descent. The requirement is a distance equal to half the height of the opening plus 5". No projection should be allowed for a similar distance above the lintel of the doors on the topmost floor. Door Clearance Formula To determine minimum distance from lintel of door opening to finish floor line above, add 10" to one-half of door opening height for regular labelled counterbalanced doors, and 5" for regular non-labelled counterbalanced doors. For Pass Type Counterbalanced Doors minimum space, 18" from lintel to finish floor line above. Door openings 12-0" to 16 -0" in width should have 9" clear jamb return on shaft side of wall for fastening of hardware. Doors over 16 -0" in width should be provided with 11" jamb return.

In factories, storage buildings, warehouses, market buildings and department stores where cars are used requiring door openings at two ends, Peelle electrically operated doors have proved their worth as time savers and aids to the economical loading and unloading of freight elevators. Peelle electrically operated doors are also recom¬ mended for use in shafts equipped with push-button operated elevators, dispensing with the service of elevator operators. Operating Switch for Electrically Operated Doors Operation and Details These doors are operated by a specially designed motor, located in the elevator pent house. Two lines of steel cable passing through cable guide made of heavy steel cast¬ ing attached to the trucking sill of each door, with stop-balls and heavy cushion springs placed as shown on detail, are fastened to drum winding mechanism located in the pent house. Each door is equipped with side bar latches which engage the trucking bar when door is in a closed position. These latches are operated by cams located on the elevator car, and only those of door opposite station¬ ary elevator are subject to release, insuring door against accident. Operating Buttons The operating Buttons may be located on any floor in the building or each floor if desired, also within the elevator car. Limit switches indicated on details control the vertical movement of these doors and the operation of the motor, automatically cutting motor electrical circuit when doors have reached the maximum opening and closing position. When specified, the Peelle Motor Operated doors can be made to open automatically in the self-leveling zone of the elevator. L. BAMBERGER & CO., Newark, N. J. Jarvis Hunt & Co., Architects Martin C.

"'HE Peelle electric inter-locking system is applicable to any type door and all electrically operated ele¬ vators. It prevents the operation of elevator car until all doors in the shaft are closed. Approved by all Depart¬ ments having jurisdiction, it is an important factor in se¬ curing the lowest rate of casualty insurance. With mag¬ netically controlled elevators the Type B switches are wired in series with the elevator operating circuit. The opening of any door breaks the circuit and the car can be started again only when all doors are closed. The mechanism is entirely enclosed and protected against dust and dirt. It is as nearly fool-proof and short-circuit proof as any interlocking device can be. Type B Switch (Patented) Illustrating Illustrating Interior Application to Construction Door Rail An emergency switch is furnished if required. Installed in the elevator car it permits operation of the car with doors open, in case of fire or accident. R. S. Type Inler-lock This Type Inter-lock is a combina¬ tion of the mechanical and elec¬ trical inter-lock. Doors are locked at two points; at the center and at the jamb. The fastening at the side can only be made by the latch bar. This mechanically locks the door by engaging inter-lock through re¬ inforced slot, simultaneously bring¬ ing pressure to bear on switch arm, insuring locked door before car is started. Emergency Switch The emergency switch is used in conjunction with electric inter - locks. T his emergency switch is entirely fool-proof. The glass enclosure must be broken before switch can be oper¬ ated. ELY & WALKER DRY GOODS CO., St. Louis, Mo. Eames & Young Co., Architects James Stewart & Co., Contractors S. H. KRESS STORE Oakland , California E. J. Hoffman , Architect Page 28 PEELLE K‘, DOORS 3 *- Peelle Electric Inter-locking Systems Electro-Mechanical Inter-Lock I LLUSTRATED here is the latest improved elec¬ tro-mechanical inter-lock. It is the last word in freight elevator door safety equipment. The door is locked at two points, one at the center and at the side as shown. The Electric circuit can be completed only by the latch bar engaging Type E switch at the jamb. This mechanically locks the door by engaging in the reinforced slot, at the same time pushing in the switch arm. The stronger latch at the center bears the brunt of the jar as the door is opened and closed. The switch arm operates by gravity, and springs, where used, are of special design. The mechanism en¬ tirely enclosed, is dirt and dust proof, its simplicity and fewness of moving parts re¬ quires no maintenance. It is wired in the same manner as Type B inter-locks. The action of closing the door automatically double-locks and electrically inter-locks it. PEELLE Safety Appliances When so specified, Peelle Counterbalanced Freight Elevator Doors may be equipped with Automatic Closing Machines which close the doors mechanically as the elevator moves away from the floor. (This safety device is recommended for small doors only. The electric-interlocks will be found superior for larger sizes.) These doors can also be equipped with fuse-link closing device, weight cushions and pneumatic door checks. They serve to keep doors from slamming as they come together and assist also in the opening of the doors. .

A steel cable equipped with stop-balls fastened under the trucking bar of each door runs the full length of the shaft, operating through specially designed guides fastened to the Peelle Door. This cable lifts and lowers the counterweight indicated on the detail which controls the shipper cable clutch. Opening and closing of the doors operates the mechanical clutch. No electrical current is required to operate the Peelle Master Mechanical Inter-locking System. The Shipper Cable is also equipped with stop-balls so spaced that the elevator operating mechanism cannot function, when the doors are in an open position. The Master Mechanical Inter-lock is a patent of the Peelle Company.

An important advantage of this door is the little space required for installation and operation. (See details for all dimensions.) Manufactured of heavy steel plate panels, with and without vision glass. (This type of door is also made of light kalamein or metal clad panels.) The standard steel plate dumbwaiter doors are rec¬ ommended especially for apartment buildings, factories, restaurants, and department stores. Operations and Details The doors utilize the counterbalanced prin¬ ciple that has made the Peelle Freight Ele¬ vator Door standard equipment in thousands of elevators. One section of the door counter¬ balances the other, thus eliminating the use of counterweights and greatly reducing the number of moving parts. Each door is made up of one inch structural angle iron frame, to which the flat sheet steel panels are riveted. The vertical angles are reinforced, as will be noted on details, and set into iron guides, ready for installation. Radial ball bearing pulleys and heavy steel chains increase the ease of operation. Standard steel plate dumbwaiter doors are manufactured in stock sizes, sold F. 0. B. fac¬ tory and shipped fully assembled. (Special sizes made up if desired.)

For doors which will be constantly in use, the Peelle electric motor operation is recommended. A switch, conveniently located, operates this type of door, permitting rapid handling of traffic. In the installation of four Peelle Tel-co Doors in the Manhattan Storage and Warehouse Building (Illustrated on page 44) Peelle engineers were called upon to assist in plan¬ ning structural conditions necessitated by the problem of providing clearance for door operation upward, through and into the second floor to allow maximum headroom for entrance and exit on ground floor. All four doors are operated from a central control point located conveniently over checking clerk s desk. Construction Data The doors are heavily constructed and will be furnished with wood or wood metal- covered panels, framed in heavy structural angle iron, reinforced at the sides and operated in the Peelle patented anti-friction shoes over heavy steel guides. Large sheaves, specially designed to increase the ease of operation, necessitates a clearance over the door opening lintel of one-half the height of the door plus 2! 2". Where the width of the door exceeds the height, additional return space at the jambs may be necessary for standard cast iron counterweights.

DOORS PEELLE Turnover Doors Manually or Electrically Operated Exterior view Peelle Motor-Operated Turnover Door Interior view Peelle Motor-Operated Turnover Door T HIS type of Peelle Door is recommended for use under conditions where Bi-Fold Doors are ordinarily installed. It is constructed in one piece, slides up and comes to rest under the ceiling in a horizontal position. Fault-proof in design with a minimum of mechanical equip¬ ment it is capable of meeting heavy service conditions. In contrast to the Bi-Fold type door. The Peelle Turnover Door eliminates the problem of breaking door when opening, and locking door when closing against wind pressure. This door may be operated by hand or electrically. Electrical opera¬ tion is recommended where doors are subjected to heavy and continuous operation. Special details will gladly be prepared for architects and engineers.

Peelle Door engineers have been designing doors to meet a large number of difficult con¬ ditions where the installation of standard type doors is im¬ possible. Illustrations of doors show a set of electrically operated, special¬ ly designed four piece doors. Each door is 16 -0" x 32-0" and when opened allows full clear¬ ance of the entire opening. The structural conditions of this building required special study and engineering to devise ade¬ quate, easily operated and eco¬ nomically maintained enclos¬ ures. This is but one example of Peelle engineering ingenu¬ ity under adverse conditions. Our services and recommenda¬ tions in this regard are cheer¬ fully rendered upon request without placing any obligation upon you.

PEELLEK DOORS Arnold Sill Attachment For Special Trucking Conditions P EELLE Doors, if so specified, can be equipped with the Arnold Sill. It is a valuable aid to efficient move¬ ment of interior traffic where trucking is done on small casters and an un¬ broken surface is imperative. The Arnold Sill consists of a steel plate which lies flat against lower panel of door when closed. It functions simul¬ taneously and automatically with open¬ ing of door, operating in a steel chan¬ nel guide and assuming a horizontal position, completely bridging gap be¬ tween elevator car floor and building floor.
