Re: Elevators: Cascaded vs Continuous

I have only ever had experience with the continuous one (where one stage moves up at a time), and I can say that I'd prefer cascade based on how 2415 used it, and their increase in speed. However, I suppose such a speed could be achieved by any system assuming the proper balancing of the lift.

One issue with continuous, if you're going to truly go that way, is in my experience, the intermediate stage tends to go up first. I'm not entirely sure how to circumvent that problem, but I suppose if you could get around that, then continuous would be preferable.
