Washington reports that elevator safety for millions rises as two groups of scientists at the Bureau of Standards, with state and city authorities, manufacturers, architects and underwriters, test interlock devices to prevent a car from leaving a landing unless doors are closed and locked.
Market report from New Orleans on November 27 notes cautious selling attitude and a light volume of offerings. Buyers show a bullish tilt on upcoming bureau ginning, with forecasts of continued higher prices amid beliefs in production-consumption gaps and lingering price- fixing inflation pressures.
Investigations led by J A Dickenson of the bureau show progress in enhancing elevator safety devices. Tests, conducted by W F Stutz and BE C Bainey in a lab elevator, aim to auto halt cars if control fails. Interlock must endure 100000 cycles with door mechanism, plus 25000 cycles without lubrication and 15000 cycles with rust-wobble conditions.
