First Elevator Invention
Meet the world’s first electric elevator! For the first time ever several people could be transported vertically by an electric elevator – at 1.8 kilometers per hour up to a height of 40 meters. This invention by Werner von Siemens was in fact a vertically moving locomotive. 🚂 It was presented by Siemens in Mannheim, Germany, in 1880.

First Elevator Ride
Dad’s first ride! Student Power. I laid a little bit of it out they did the rest. Elevator for my dad at the river house. He cant get up the steps anymore. My kids knocked it out. Especially with building something going 50 miles away with no testing that could be done to see if it was going to work. Just a plan and a lot of ideas and a sketchy drawing and a few height measurements and it was perfect! I am lucky to teach the best os the best students! | Tuscaloosa Co. Schools Welding Technology
