Pheasants are of higher social standing than peasants.
Har har. Escalators are merely inferior wanna-be elevators formed into the shape of their lesser cousin, the stairs.

I'll agree that pheasants and their wardrobe place them above peasants. I contend that peasants are above piss-ants. Both are useful.

So what is the peak of elevator construction? Don't refer to the brakes as that will only slow you down.

Escalators are superior in that they allow assisted motion as opposed to passive locomotion. In the advent of a catastrophic failure, they merely slow you down rather than maiming. ThyssenKrupp addresses both.

Yes, but elevators are objectively cooler. And (most) have overspeed governors, which is far more interesting than any part you can find on a regular ol' escalator. :caf
By the way, they've had a facelift. They are now stylized as "thyssenkrupp". I know, I know. I don't like it either.
Actually, this summer they sold their elevator division to elsewhere, but as far as I know they're still under the thyssenkrupp name, but for how long, I don't know.
Schindler produces more escalators than thyssenkrupp does, and is #2 in elevators, right behind Otis. Though, I prefer thyssenkrupp because I have a soft spot for it.

If I hear one more elevator pun out of you, I'm sending you to the corner, young man.
