square yards of carpet do you need for this job? - ANS - 6
How are the ends of rails made so they may be joined together? - ANS - The ends
have a tongue and groove

4500lbs, what would its capability be if roped 2:1? - ANS - 325 fpm at 9000lbs
, If the compensating sheave diameter is smaller than the distance between the car and
counterweight compensating rope hitches, the plumb lead of the compensating rope
from the compensating sheave should be from the - ANS - Counterweight

counterweight lands on its buffer avoids... - ANS - The elevator car being pulled into
the over head.
