Lifts are controlled by a microprocessor in the machine room.This logs all passenger calls and monitors the number of passengers travelling from floor to floor, the position of any car in the system, and its speed. 1 _______. Lifts have many safety devices which make it virtually impossible for an accident to happen. 2 _______. Each one is strong enough to support the car. If the car starts too quickly, a governor or safety brake locks the car to the guide rails. 3 _______. Doors on the car ensure that no passenger can be injured by contact with the shaft. The car cannot move until both sets of doors are closed. 4 _______. All these things combined make travel in lifts one of the safest journeys you can make!

1 _______. The first lifts, or ‘elevators’ in American English, consisted of a platform suspended from a rope which passed over a pulley at the top of the building. If the rope broke, the platform fell to the ground. 2 _______. If the rope broke, a brake was applied automatically which locked the platform in place between guide rails. 3 _______. Most lifts today are roped lifts. The car runs between vertical guide rails keep it steady and act as a safety device. Steel ropes, or cables, attached to the roof of the car pass over a pulley, called the drive sheave, which is turned by an electric motor. 4 _______. This matches the weight of a car with an average load of passengers.
The counterweight saves energy. Its weight helps to raise the car. In the same way, the weight of the car when it descends helps to raise the counterweight. For the most part, the motor only has to overcome friction.

Skyscrapers start with a very large hole in the ground which will contain the foundations, several floors, and possibly even a metro or subway station. 1 _______.

Vertical steel columns are bolted to the foundations. 3 _______. Steel girders are fixed horizontally from column to column by Steel Erectors to form a strong framework. Metal decking is laid across the girders and filled with lightweight liquid concrete which is pumped up from the ground. When it sets, it forms the floors.
Ducts are installed below the floors to carry all services:  electricity, water, drains. 4 _______. If a fire happens, it is important that the structure can withstand high temperatures without buckling.
The same process is repeated as the building rises. In some construction methods, entire floors are built at ground level and hoisted into position by cranes.

Pedro Fernandez: Bike Maker
When I choose a material for a bike frame, I have to think about the properties of the material. How elastic is it? If you bend or stretch it, will it go back to its original shape? If it does, it has high elasticity. How strong is it? There are two types of strength. The first is how much force you need to bend it to a point where it can’t go back to its original shape. 1 _______. Steel is the least expensive choice. There’s a wide range of standard gauge tubes available. It’s strong and it has good elasticity but it’s heavy.
Aluminium is light and strong but it’s flexible. The more it bends, the quicker it breaks. 2 _______. That limits the amount of bending.
Titanium has a great strength-to-weight ratio. It’s got good elasticity so when it bends to return to its original shape. 3 _______. But it’s expensive-fifteen times the price of steel!
The professionals use carbon fibre. It’s very light and it’s very strong. You can shape it any way you like. 4 _______.
