Instead of a continuous rubber belt, it was composed of hinged wooden segments instead of stair risers. Slats attached to the wood segments kept one from slipping. One entered and exited very carefully. Obviously, it was cheaper than a regular escalator, and fit in with the aura of a super bargain basement. As you can imagine, it was a noisy, clattering conveyance. (There are no responses to this message.) Replying to posts on SubTalk are disabled at this time. |
