[ Release Notes ]
They are the most common form of transportation in North America although
often taken for granted by their riders. But these devices have had a
profound impact on how we get around. Skyscrapers, subway systems,
department stores, airports - these structures are all possible thanks
to elevators, escalators, and moving sidewalks. In fact, these devices
have transformed our buildings, our cities, and our lives.
From the early "safety elevator" designed by Elisha Otis to the newest
high-speed travelator (moving sidewalk) we will examine the profound
impact these machines have had on how we get around.
