Just returned from Paris on Monday from the US. The video or pictures just can't do this justice- such an impressive structure. Despite the cold-ish weather, an all around great time, for our fist time

Capture Sam
20nov18--The original lifts to third level were supplied by Léon Edoux. 266 ft. hydraulic rams reaching nearly halfway up to the third level plus a system of cables and sheaves worked in tandom for two cars. Each car only travelled half the distance between the second and third levels and passengers were required to change lifts halfway by means of a short gangway. The 10-ton cars each held 65 passengers. EnJoy EnJoy

What's special about the year 1889 Capture Sam? Hint: something 100 yrs. prior. And how tall is that tree in Madrid? I yield to the master.

Capture Sam
19nov18--Completed in 1889 as the entrance to the 1889 Whirld's Fair, the fair's charter did not allow the use of any foreign (none french) material in the construction of engineer Gustave Eiffel's tower. The first two lifts were relatively easy to build because of the shear size of the towers legs, a straight shot up to the first level. Second level lifts did not have the advantage of the base legs massive size thus no direct path up for the second level lifts. No French company bid on the work, though Otis Brothers & Company (not a French company) did put in a bid though it was rejected. Bid deadlines were extended but still no French company submitted a bid. In July 1887 the contract was given to Otis. Otis had already started creating designs convinced they would eventually be given the contract. EnJoy EnJoy

Peace. Chill. We're approaching if not in the Christmas season. And Gwynn H I never thought you were defending me. I'm the last person that needs defending, I have and still do defend others. Enough is enough. I have nothing but best wishes for ALL. Anything else is not worth my time. I know, I've seen the other side. I prefer peace.

Thanks, Richard - I wasn't really defending you, though. Ha! These cams are not his turf - they belong to all of us who watch and comment (and he does try to rule many of them - not just a few). Having been one of his early "victims", and seen him be rude to many others, periodically I just get tired of it. I love a good funny exchange, as do many others, like Chris. So keep it up!
