Otis was a recurring character on the Andy Griffith Show. Otis did not invent the elevator. He invented an automatic braking system so that people wouldn’t fall to their deaths if a pulley or cable broke. His invention allowed the construction of modern day high-rise structures.
Aunt Bea invented the elevator, a shoe insert that allowed her to scold Opie without standing on a chair.
This is a true story (as far as you know).
