A Peelle Motorstair in the Sheridan Village
(circa 1955) - Tulsa, Oklahoma, U.S.A.
Patrick A. Carrajat informs me that, "This is
the original Peelle with coil handrails.The coil handrail was composed of a round
rubber bellows over which the metal coil
was fixed. In the photo you can see
sections in silver and sections in black, this
was
the common way of setting these up. The
coil handrail proved hard to hold and was
replaced with the bracelet handrail which
used a sectional bellows that came in 10 ormore different lengths which were attached
to a chain via special clips. The actual
plastic bracelet inserts were shaped like the
top of a conventional handrail and you
simply popped them onto the bellows. The
inserts were available in many colors
including black, silver, gold, red, etc." Thank
You Patrick!

Quite a few flat steps in London, United Kingdom
This makes it hard to see all the way to the other end when
stopping and starting the unit. You really need another
person or a barricade at the opposite end for everyone's safety.
