      First portal tower is Mueller, half-tower 18 is Riblet.

      No, all the drive machinery is in the enclosure under the bullwheel.

    Why does the drive look like a Hall?

      Same concept. Hall built the most of this style of drive terminal, but they were by no means the only ones. Mueller built quite a few, and Heron did as well.

    Could this be the original Summit Double from Gunstock, NH? It was installed in 1962 and had a similar-looking return terminal as per pictures on newenglandskihistory.com. In addition, the counterweight setup looks like those found on lifts like the Summit Double that started in buildings. In any case, this is definitely a cool early-model Mueller lift.
