... A flag, red-head and a blonde. Don't forget the Yashmak. ;-) 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. |

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!

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. 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. |

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. |
