Otis: giving rise to the modern city
Jason Goodwin
The book, by Jason Goodwin, has been published as Otis celebrates its 150th anniversary and recounts the story of the product and business that Elisha Otis created. The foreword reads: 'It is a peculiarly American tale of continuous growth and reinvention that continues even today at an ever-faster pace. Founded in 1853 in a ramshackle foundry on the Hudson River in Yonkers, New York, the company survived wars and depressions, bested competitors and never took its eye off technological innovation. It transformed itself from a gritty manufacturer into an inventive engineering power and, ultimately, a sophisticated global enterprise.'
