3. The Elevator Engine Room ++

	Ladders to the engine room are steep and the hole is small.
	Iron shutter does not cover the manhole. The cheap lock is locked to open position and the shutter is up.
	Peeking to the shaft. The gap is just big enough for rats and mice to fall in.
	Overview of the engine machinery.
	Same subject with natural light. The light comes from door which takes to the roof.
	Who made it. The elevator manufacturer Epilän Konepaja (EKO) was located not farther but at the opposite side of the street, where the disturbing rowhouses are now. It stopped functioning in late 1960's and the brick made workshop buildings, which generated a cool industrial alley together with this leather factory, were demolished.
	A plate with more info. From this, you can also determine the age of this building.
	Whirls straight above the shaft.
	Two wires hold the elevator cabin.
	In center, behind the hoist drum is the engine, I suppose. Looks quite nostalgic.
	Engine's outer side.
	Intelligence unit of the elevator is here. Quite ancient stuff. Actually they're just power switches, some sequence handling contactors were attached to the hoist drum main axis.
	The solenoid coils are large so they could operate the stiff and heavy switches. No wonder the EKO elevators made quite a noise when you would press the button. There are lots of houses in Tampere that have had or even have today such elevators installed, so you can maybe still find this type of engine room in use somewhere.
	Some switch that must be opened before any repair operations.
	The engine room as seen from the roof. Someone had carried the chairs there, we just re-arranged them.
	The stylish facade logo seen from wrong side.
