ELECTRIC REVOLVING DOORS.
Motor Operated and Set in Motion
by Pressing a Button.

hotOr operated and Set In Motion
by Pressing a Button.
In some buildings of a semi-public
nature in which revolving doors are
Installed, as hotels and stores, they
keep man at the entrance to help
operate the door for the greater con-
genience and comfort of persons en-
:ering and leaving the building. This
man starts the door in motion, thus
making it easier for the person enter
ing to push the rest of the way.
But the attendant, according to his
natural strength or his mood at the
moment, may start the door swiftly
DR. slowly, thus hurrying or retarding
The incomer. And then on a person
lily operated door one man in the door,
impatient, may push the door fast and
bang the leaf in front of himself
against the heels of the man in the
compartment ahead, making him pee
wish. All these variations and uncer-
tainties in the movements of the door
are eliminated by operating it with
an electric motor, the New York Sun
says.
The electrically operated revolving
door has a motor attached to the up
per end of the shaft, from which the
leaves extend. The motor is quite out
of sight above the horizontal sheath
ing at the top Of the doorway. From
the motor and also quite out of sight
wiring extends to a push button set
in the wall at the side Of the doorway
within the building, where the door
attendant stands.
With door thus equipped there is
no reaching out and grabbing a leaf
and pushing or pulling on it to start
it. The attendant simply presses the
button and so turns the current into
the motor, and the motor does the rest,
starting the door gently and then
keeping it going with a motion that
is steady and uniform.
