If you have to raise a given mass through a given vertical distance, shouldn't the answer be the same? It is a funicular railway, no? I haven't seen the earlier parts of this thread (grumble usenet) but just as a side comment: If you're looking for a wooden escalator come to NYC. Some of the escalators at the Macy's flagship store at 34th street and sixth avenue are still using woooden treads. -- __________________________________________________ ___ Knowledge may be power, but communications is the key [to foil spammers, my address has been double rot-13 encoded] |
