Video Summary:
I've animated the inside to give you a detailed look at the steps, step chain, gears, handrail, and the motor. My favorite part is how the steps always stay level when they're on top. In this video we also take a look at how escalators layouts such as side by side or the crisscross configuration. And yes...they really do have spiral escalators! Maybe I'll cover that in a future video.
