ELECT R I C ELEVATO RS VS. H Y-
N , UKAULIU
.It may be asserted that electrical ele
yators are more economical per se, that
a further ; eat a is obtainable by
operation in conjunction with -lighting
woTk. and that, the generating plant re
onired b the1. additional cot of a sin
gle"geBerator-nit; the combination of
S:l services under one character of
tmer finally that the service can be
operated by outside supply without the
expense of installing a generating plant.
These assumptions have been the
cihw of mnch disputation, and in
nnmber- of :caes where incompletely
studied havt: IcdTo .decisions ini favor
of the adootion ol electrical operation
of elevator machinery. The resaits of
the use of the dectrical high-speed n:a
chines are now before us and can be
briefly summarized as folio:
Without the addition of a storage
battery, the high-speed electric elevator
is not so economical as the hydraulic
The additional cost of a storage nat-
tery.with interest and dcpreciaTion
thereon, outwdchs any economic gain
obtainable.
Without a ua tenr. the service vr-
not be cotnfciicd satisfactorily with
ightin ; work.
A higher class and greater extent ot
abor is necessary with dectrical eleva
tor machines.
Th cost of maintenance and repairs
is largely in excess of the. same items
with . hydraulic machines.
The cost ot outside electrical supply
s too irreat to admit of economical
consideration in this class of building.
The reason for this disappointing re
sult, to mv mind, is to be found in the
basic fact that the service is a radically
unsuitable application of electricity-
