More on the Gilman Elevator
Abstract:
I think it's slow because it actually
does
move sideways, in a spiral around the building.
Body:
Apparently it's not unusual to receive a call
while waiting to arrive at one's destination. My professor said that many times
someone will get on the phone and ask if he's okay. Once, an outside caller was
connected to the elevator, and according to my professor, was "quite upset" that
he wouldn't transfer her to the engineering department, even after he explained
that he was in an elevator.
Now I have
to find out what that extension is...
