The margin of safety is naturally ex-
tremely generous in elevators. and there
are various forms of safety clutches many
of them automatic in their action: but the
experience of New York goes 10 show that
none of these can be q full substitute for
the air cushion in the pit The action of
this device in insuriHg safety is almost
magical. In some experiments with such
an elevator well in n famous and altitude
nous store the car vas taken TO the top of
the building and allowed TO fall with the
brake off. An eye witness of the expert
ment says:
1T fell TO the top of the pit with ire
mendous force and struck the cashion of
air with sound If ii had struck soft
earth. 1t seemed to stop suddenly at the
top Of the pit and then slowly settled down
To the bottom. II was clear that the pit
was too small at the to-; that the slope
of the sides was too slig, L; that If the es-
cape of air had been freer at the impact
the stopping would have been sensiby
gradual. as was shown by the fact that a
half dozen eggs in a paper bag chat /
