[edit] this page

Man, this page was a copy-edit from a badly written page at faculty.washington.edu, and its hard to sort through it. It switches between history and specifications in a way that would need lots of time to reorganize. Fresheneesz 06:30, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

As somebody who was in on the ground floor of Cabinentaxi in 1970-71, I don't think this page needs much reorganization - but there's a lot of early technical background missing, which I'll try to fill in when I can get down to it. A couple of points for just now:

  1. Development was started by DEMAG Foerdertechnik, Wetter, Ruhr (not yet assimilated by Mannesmann).
  2. Cabinentaxi (aka CAT) made the cover of Foerdertechnik magazine in a 1971 issue, with a descriptive article (German) inside.
  3. Although no public installation was completed, MBB did install a system with the original small (2+2 seat) cabins at CERN around 1980. Unfortunately CERN's website isn't very forthcoming with info about this.
