I had no idea doppelmayr did it too. I always figured it went straight from Quicksilver-like chairs to CLD-260. What was that terminal model called? In fact what was that fixed-grip model called? I know it was common but I can’t quite put my finger on it.
On the top station drive unit, it looks like they attached a fixed grip drive and put it behind a detachable station and combined it.

That’s what the early detachables were like. The drive was always separate. Doppelmayr did it too: http://www.chairlift.org/pics/stowe/st84.jpg
