Talk:Detachable chairlift

message: It'd be nice to put some history here on where the first detachable lift was open.  I recall that Vail had one of the earliest (if not the earliest) detachables, the Vista Bahn, but perhaps that was simply the earlist North American (or even US) detachable.

thread_title:  First detachable lifts? 

message: I had thought there were 1 or 2 10-place chairlifts in France, but I can't find them on google. This page refers to one, but they're probably just confused. I guess it's 8. Stevage 03:06, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I can understand how "only" eight people on a chair might seem like ten.  That's a mindboggling number of people to egress all at once.  Heck, the bits of freeway around here with four lanes on each side sometimes seems like five....  —EncMstr 04:38, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

message: The haul rope gets sent around a bullwheel just like a fixed grip chair. The carrier grip detaches the rope and is then brought around the station by a series of belts,conveyors, and tires until it reattaches to the haul rope. the belts conveyors and tires slow the chair down and speed it up again to haul rope speed without the haul rope ever changing its speed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.179.15.7 (talk) 08:18, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Explanation 

message: I can't think of any detachable chairlift that races through a station with 1m/s. Also, most of these lifts (at least in Europe) make 4-4,5m/s, but not 6 in average. Any thoughts or reliable sources on that? 217.233.75.205 (talk) 13:59, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Of course articles on this site should be accurate, but they should also be readable, which is something many of the more zealous editors forget. The flow of an otherwise easily understandable sentence can be damaged by constant square bracket interruptions. I've won a few awards for my writing and after editors pointed out to me, I've learnt to scan text to ensure its readability. Try reading text with a lot of square bracket interruptions out loud, I think you will discover that it's impossible to read it in a calm and measured way. So I advocate keeping references, links and other square bracket interruptions where they could be valuable or useful to an average reader, but don't add any extra out of pedantry or a need to be utterly comprehensive.

message: Think there could be more info on Manufactures in Europe. for example More on Poma in France, Von roll and GMM just to name a few.  Present section seems to only include information on the American subsidiaries. I'm Sure I have not listed everything but there is a lot more that can be added to this page. there is lots of information of this topic on websites online such as https://www.remontees-mecaniques.net/ .
