Straight Up-and-Down Runs of Certain
Downtown Expresses.
"All aboard seventh floor first stop"
This cry greeted a reporter recent,
ly as he stepped into downtown Office
building and faced a half dozen ele-
vators. He wished to go to the ninth
floor. He stepped into an elevator over
which was the sign: 'Express-first
stop seventh floor"
In it there were three men and mid
dle-aged woman. The starter said
"All right" and the elevator man
grasped the throttle of the express. .
1t was the usual cable rope, and as the
man pulled it began its journey upward
The lone woman passenger gave vent
to slight "Oh!" and held her breath.
Floor after floor was passed at speed
of about eight miles an hour. When the
sixth floor was reached, the woJnG,l
wanted to get off, but was informed
that she was on an express and it wa
against the rules to stop an exprcs..
until its destination was reached. 7hss
elevator arrived at the scyan:h fsos
~. ci1AASs y t<OkA SAGNt4J S@{5 II Is
to make the upward journey Of 81
The elevator man then announced th.st
the next stop would be the top fcoE.
1co feet above. The top floor, according
to the directory, YVES the 14th, and tn.
elevator few upward once more. nrriv.
ing near the roof few seconds later.
I'VE can make round trip in As Sec
onds, including short stops" said the
engineer of the express. "but we have
made it in about 40 without stops.
There are two express elevators and
: four regulars that we call way trains.
They stop at every floor and for every
body who shouts. Often get passen-
gers who want to get out at the sixth
or tenth floors. They get mad, too,
when they are told they must go upnnd
take another elevator down: The other
express makes no intermediate stops
at air during he busy hours. IN. q.
