Abstract :
H. D. James: The selection of the proper size elevator car and the proper speed of operation is very essential for the success of any installation. The tendency is to use car speeds of 500 to 600 ft. per min. on the larger installations and even higher speeds have been tried out in practise. The tendency in New York City towards very high buildings of the tower construction may lead to elevator speeds of 1000 ft. per min. or even more.
