The transfer floor has linear induction motor (LIM) primary segments 60-67 disposed on the transfer floor; the carriage has a LIM secondary 128 thereon for propulsion. The carriages can be locked 91, 92 to the transfer floor for loading, and cabs can be locked 131 onto the carriages for stability when being moved. A controller (FIGS. 10-13) keeps track of the progress of the cabs from one elevator to another.Field of SearchMISCELLANEOUSHAVING SPECIFIC LOAD SUPPORT STRUCTURE OR ARRANGEMENT (E.G., CAR FRAMING) Arranged to carry masonry hod HAVING INDEPENDENT SUPPORTS CARRYING DISTINCT LOADS AND SHARING COMMON PATH Actuated by load support contacting trip in shaft And means for final leveling With specific electrical component | |
