Do not attempt to build your
elevator with local builders
who are not elevator men,
without the supervision of
an experienced man, partic
ularly during the installation
period. Good builders can
follow plans readily to this
point, but many of the suc
cessful operating features are
arrived at by experience and
cannot be shown in plans,
therefore missed by inexper
ienced builders.
