(Filmed on 1/2/24). These are the elevators located at the Lake Waukegan Office Center. While they may just be your standard Westinghouse AEs from the early 1970s, these elevators seem to have these unique, mechanical floor indicators that are rarely seen on Westinghouses. These indicators function in a similar manner to an IEE indicator in which a light is projected through a numbered lens to display that number on the indicator itself. In this case, the light projects through a belt or gear that seems to move in order to display different numbers on the indicator while the elevator is traveling between floors.
However, it seems like only the indicator in the left elevator (labeled "CAR 1") is driven by a belt/gear since it produces a scrolling effect compared to the indicator in the right elevator (labeled "CAR 2") which produces more of a disappearing effect. This type of behavior is what you would typically expect to see on any IEE indicator. Whatever inner workings lie behind these indicators, this was still a really neat find. I definitely recommend for those of you elevator enthusiasts who live near the area or plan to visit Glenview at some point to film elevators to check out this location.
