Not heard of a yashmak before - "let's have the blonde wearing the yashmak
over here and put the brute over there by the red-head" :-)

I was surprised when I was watching the filming of Lewis how often they used
lights outside a building shining in through the windows to supplement the
daylight: https://s8.postimg.org/wjx8afgc5/Pict7331.jpg and
https://s8.postimg.org/j309rtt8l/Pict9842.jpg - notice the blue gels to
balance the lights to be daylight coloured - I imagine it's much easier to
light the scene for daylight than than to light it for tungsten and then
have to put amber gels on any windows that are in shot or that are lighting
the scene.

Yeah ... I'm a right brainer you see so only remember the things that
are pertinent (to the point). ;-)

Also, there are so many duplicate threads popping up because
(possibly) my newsreader doesn't realise they are part of the original
thread, I just saw it as the same thing (which in fact to a right
brainer it is). ;-)

Both ;-)

We had one at Salford University, commissioned in 1967, after
quite a delay whilst the fire authorities sorted out necessary
precautions. The chemistry students had to be forbidden from
jumping on with arms full of glassware.

Ah, the heady days of the sixties. The architects had provided a
bench seat on each floor immediately opposite the paternoster.
The place was full of female language students, hemlines were
very high, and as the car rose, you popped up at floor level.
Views in the tower block were interesting.

Going over the top, though frowned upon, _had_ to be done It
was a little unnerving, as it got noisier and there was a bit of
vibration, being near the drive motors, but not actually as
hazardous as getting on and off normally. On each floor there was
a hinged flap. so that overhanging feet were not chopped. As the
top area was solid, there was a flap which operated a trip
switch, which was regularly operated.

Some wag went over the top and emerged standing on his head.

The whole block is now demolished, the space left appearing far
too small ever to have contained it, whilst the somewhat similar
Sheffield Arts Tower is listed!

We had one in James Went Building at Leicester Poly, the paternoster did
seem to spend huge chunks of time out of order, the building itself was
out of commission for a year while they removed the asbestos, and is now
demolished.

We didn't get such a benefit

I gathered there were various "tilt" switches as it went over the top,
so stood very still, quite often people would "trip" it while trying.

On each floor there was a hinged flap.


During quiet times you could take a trip up and leaving all the flaps
open behind you. I seem to remember the front of the cars also hinged
upwards and would trip it if it threatened to decapitate someone.

Do paternosters keep the car the same way up or do they invert it as it goes
over the top? Or are there two different sorts, with the added fun being "is
this the inverting sort?".

I imagine that paternosters are good where some people are going to all the
floors and therefore a conventional lift would have to stop at each (with
deceleration and acceleration at each floor), but are very slow if most of
the people are going from the ground to the top floor, and therefore the
paternoster has to go slowly (for safety of people who might have been
getting on/off at each floor) where a conventional lift could accelerate to
a faster speed when bypassing the intermediate floors. And also they are not
good if a lot of people want to get on/off and have to all do so within a
fairly small window of time while the lift floor is still within jumping
distance of the building floor.
