Take a look at the last remaining non-stop elevators, the paternoster elevator. The paternoster elevator, which works on a circuit and never stops moving, is rarely seen these days. The invention of the paternoster dated to the 19th century in the UK when it was thought to can deliver more people without as a long of a wait. But they could also be very dangerous if they don't have an emergency shut off triggered by an obstruction. Now only a handful still operate in Central and Eastern Europe. I

The good news: passengers can easily climb on and off at any floor they like. The bad news: there are no buttons, no doors, and no stops! You won’t be surprised to learn that construction of new paternosters was stopped back in the 1970s due to safety concerns—it's estimated that a paternoster is 30 times more dangerous than a standard elevator setup. Even so, hundreds are

A paternoster lift is a passenger elevator which consists of a chain of open compartments (each usually designed for two persons) that move slowly in a loop up and down inside a building without stopping. Passengers can step on or off at any floor they like. The same technique is also used for filing cabinets to store large amounts of (paper) documents or for small spare parts. The much smaller belt manlift which consists of an endless belt with steps and rungs but no compartments is also someti
