It consists of a motor-driven chain of individually linked steps on a track which cycle on a pair of tracks which keep them horizontal.]]> 2019-05-10 20:15:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jj27735/xzdhzb0tsble/wish/359029035 jj27735 https://padlet.com/jj27735/xzdhzb0tsble/wish/359030230 The first escalator was at New York City]]> 2019-05-10 20:21:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jj27735/xzdhzb0tsble/wish/359030230 jj27735 https://padlet.com/jj27735/xzdhzb0tsble/wish/359031042 The invention of the escalator is generally credited to Charles D. Seeberger who, as an employee of the Otis Elevator Company, produced the first step-type escalator manufactured for use by the general public. His creation was installed at the Paris Exhibition of 1900, where it won first prize. Seeberger also coined the term escalator by joining scala, which is Latin for steps, with a diminutive form of "elevator." In 1910 Seeberger sold the original patent rights for his invention to the Otis Elevator Company. Although numerous improvements have been made, Seeberger's basic design remains in use today. It consists of top and bottom landing platforms connected by a metal truss. The truss contains two tracks, which pull a collapsible staircase through an endless loop. The truss also supports two handrails, which are coordinated to move at the same speed as the step treads.]]> 2019-05-10 20:26:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jj27735/xzdhzb0tsble/wish/359031042
