    Today's engineering exercise: how would you design the safety interlock between the Monocab and the station platform doors?

    The elevator is a single point of failure. Imagine you're in a wheelchair. You get out of the last Monocab at 1 am to discover the elevator is, "not responding to the call button." Is there a way to reach help in these days before wireless phones? Can you summon an elevator mechanic at 1 am? (If you can, they'll be grumpy. 😄)

    Thanks for this, I added an older color photo of the monocab to the Wikipedia entry.

    I'd like to see the crimper that crimped the wire rope seen here.
