Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the history and technical development of elevators from the initial inception of rudimentary lifting machines to the sophisticated traction elevators common in modern high -rises. The author begins with a discussion of the origins of elevators in the ancient world before exploring the variety of elevator designs prevalent in the early to mid -19th century. These designs are contextualized within the broader technological advancements of the Industrial Revolution. The author then examines the development of steam elevators in the late 19th century, hydraulic elevators, and electric elevators in the early 20th century. The book concludes with an in -depth analysis of the safety features that have been progressively incorporated into elevator design over the past century, with particular focus on the role that automation has played in enhancing safety. The author deftly illustrates the integral role that elevators have played in the rise of urban societies, and the impact they continue to have on modern architecture and urban planning.
