Elisha Otis was born on August 3, 1811, and died April 8, 1861.  He didn't invent the elevator itself but, some people say that he invented something even more important which was the safety device which he later patented.  His invention helped many citizens get from floor to floor in a large building quickly and save time. It also kept citizens safe from the falling of hoisting cable fails.  This will help workers and people get to where they need to go.]]> 2018-11-20 22:06:14 UTC https://padlet.com/brandon_alessi/dp51zr3m5mqg/wish/306548231
