if i had a nickel for every time subway advertising was in a lift blog post i would have two nickels, which isn’t alot but its weird that it happened twice.
Good question. I’d never seen a Riblet 6-rocker before, which doesn’t mean they didn’t make them. When we built the current chair 2 at Baker, they sent us some ‘heavy-duty’ 4-rockers that were supposedly to be used where a 6-rocker would go. Apparently the sheave bearings were rated for the increased load, but the standard 4-rocker beams and axles were not.

Did Riblet make those 6-sheave assemblies?
