How many elevators did Britannic have?
Britannic had 5 elevators, compared to 4 on Olympic/Titanic. The first three were located immediately forward of the forward Grand Staircase, as on her sister. A single elevator ran up the centre of the aft 2nd class staircase, just like it did on the sister ships. The final, and extra, elevator was located amidships, immediately aft of the #3 funnel casing. The elevators gear was manufactured by R. Waygood, a company which was later taken over by/absorbed by Otis (which survives to this day).
