Does anyone know of or have a detailed history of otis with reference to product development and when they came out as the otis website is very generic?

Thanks in advance.

Uppo,
You can google Elisha Graves Otis!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elisha_Otis

There is a book out about Otis and probably available on Amazon.

Pretty good read.

They have an otis museum library I was told ..I would call and ask ...

otis is on wikipedia. we are coming up on the 160th anniversary of the company.

Thanks gents, but im am aware of the otis history on its site and the history of elisha otis. Im after a 'detailed' history of the company not just the over view of it. being an ex employee im well aware of the general stuff but not being in the US we didnt get the 'home' history. i will check out this book that might be available.

thanks.

edit: just checked out this book. Does it describe the evolution of the new products ie 260vip and 401's etc?
