It’s good to be back everyone. We’ve got a good show today along with some interesting articles. The first one talks about the space elevator which is very technical. Also linked below is a YouTube video on the Maglev Elevator, which I had no idea how it worked until now. Is this where our industry is heading? Will MRL’s evolve using Maglev technology? It will be interesting to see the progress of it in 15-20 years. Remember that the Elevator Escalator Safety Week is fast approaching click here to find out how easy it is to participate!  (Pictured Right: Two fans stop by The Elevator Radio Show studio to show their support for ElevatorBob and myself who had brief thoughts………very brief ……..of running for office!)
