Opened in 1931, the Empire State Building was the first building to top 100 floors, an extraordinary milestone that only added to the mystique of this art-deco masterpiece and global icon.

Otis helped make it possible, supplying the fastest, most advanced elevators of the day. The majority featured sophisticated signal controls to govern speed and leveling. Dubbed “robot elevators,” they still needed an attendant at the time.
