To enable heavy wagons to climb a
steep hill in Cleveland. Ohio, without
any effort on the part of the teams
which draw them, an escalator, or
moving roadway has been provided.
Its length is 400 feet, and is nearly
equal to that of two short blocks. The
rise effected amounts to sixty-6ve feet.
This rolling road, therefore, delivers It's
load at a height equivalent to that
OF the roof of f1ve-story building;
and in order to do so It is arranged so
that its grade or slope is one foot vertl-
cally to every six and half feet hori.

feet wide. As the motion Is always in

this device shall assist teams to get

plished by another route.
What the limit Is to the capacity Of
the escalator has not been announced,
