In Britain, the paternoster lift was derived from the "belt man lifts" found in mines and factories; a series of little platforms on an endless chain that workers would hang onto to go up or down. Cars were less dangerous than platforms, although paternosters could kill, and safety sensors reduced the risk. Only 3 left in Britain by 2022.
This is really a vertical escalator & indeed it was from the paternoster that the escalator as we know it evolved & it was the invention of the escalator that sounded the death knell for the paternoster.
For those People Who wonder Why is it Named As Paternoster Lift Because It Derives from the Biblical Prayer “Our Father” and the mechanism of the Elevator is Derrived from the Prayer Beads
That is caused by the chains that every cabin is hanging on; when the chains are grabbed by the wheels in the turning stations it makes that noise. You will hear it in every paternoster, without an exception.
because they are dangerous and often don't have much safety measures. it's easy to lose an arm or a leg or get crushed and die if you trip over for example.
Because they are stupid and think our ancestors were stupid. Most of modern people even don't know how old technology is car or train so they are scared in elevator from 1925 because they don't know they already had sensors and safety devices in that time and it's completely safe.
Nonsense, our ancestors were not stupid nor crazy, it has sensors in floor and ceiling. When you let your arm outside, it stops immediately. You can see how it works in this video. th-cam.com/video/-Y1ME8n5tCU/w-d-xo.html
@@Diogo2cool It doesn't stop, you simply do the loop and start going down. I rode this one, there is an inverted horse statue? hanging from the roof outside, Prague has so many weird statues lol.

It´s stated in the text above: Lucerna Palace in Prague, very close to Wenceslas Square. The entrance door is closed, so you have to wait until somebody leaves the building to get in, or simply ring a bell and hope that the door will be opened then. Another one is in the New Town Hall, that door is always open.
@@Musikverkaeufer I rode it yesterday. during my last day in Prague You just have to buy a 100 Czech Koruna ticket to the rooftop bar named "Strecha Lucerna" (which includes a free cup of hot wine) and then they let you in. You can take the Paternoster up to the top level . (or ride it all around like I did) Very cool, and very calm experience. It can be quite difficult to find it, though. I had to ask shop-owners in Passage Lucerna/Passage Rococo for directions to it.
@@DanielYusim That´s true, if you don´t know of its existence you only will find it by coincidence or if someone tells you. You can see it when you pass by the mentioned always closed door, but of course you must take a look in the right moment.
@@Musikverkaeufer Yeah, it was really an interesting experience for me trying to find it. I found a google map of potential sites, not even knowing the names of the places and guesstimated the few closest ones to my hotel. I image searched pictures of Paternosters and asked a shop-owner about it and he pointed me to a place I had just passed, not even knowing it where a girl was selling tickets to the rooftop bar and the elevator was right behind her. It happened to be the first one on the list I'd made which was lucky because it was my last day in Prague and I had plenty of time left over. I think I'd found the same one once before while looking for a bookstore located somewhere in Passage Lucerna but the glass door was locked. Also, the one in the Town Hall is likely inaccessible during the weekends because the town hall seems to be closed on weekends. (according to Google when I was there)
@@kleszczoros4885 We have dozens of them, but only few of them are public and you can use them. I googled it and we have 68 of paternoster lifts, but I don't know if all are operable.
@@bonitobonita9263 You can find many of them even in Germany, Austria and Poland, I heard that even in Switzerland they have some of them, but here in Czechia, we have really many of them in good condition, we really keep things which are related to our first republic era, it's important for us.
Excellent video. This was everything about the Paternoster elevator I wanted to see. Thank you.

Every lift can kill if not used or maintained properly.

That is very cool! Never seen a Paternoster machine room, very simple. What the heck makes that constant annoying clacking?

I bet they have a hard time finding insurance....and when they do it is an enormous fee.
😂
Beautifully simple!
I like that GET OUT!!! table there, it's so simple and clear. :-)
@Romeo Marley definitely, been using flixzone} for since november myself =)
Why are people so scared of this thing, there cool.
Why do u think Idiot?

35 years in the elevator trade that's a dangerous crushing contraption
This looks like a good way to lose a head or a limb if you trip and fall at the wrong moment.

Of course not 😅
BNFL Risley Warrington and Natwest Bank 55 king st Manchester had these.
They have one in the danish parlament also I believe
What happens if you don’t get off at the top?
Nothing happens, it’s just that the parnoster might stop

Should of went all the way down and around the curve

@@semura5141 No
@@semura5141 LOL You won't. Just simply ride around a wheel and going up again. I hope you're just joking.

I think it is cool
Where is this Paternoster ?

There is one more paternoster in Uzhgorod 🇺🇦 Ukraine. Which is still in working state
There is one in Poland too
Only one? We have many of them in Czechia.
@@Pidalin well I know of one there might be more
