An "elevator" is an entire system for moving something vertically. It includes a lift mechanism, guide system (rails, etc), control mechanisms, etc. When the portion of the system that moves is an enclosed space (not a simple platform or bucket) which carries people and/or goods, that part is called a "carriage" or "car". -- Ian (who was oddly fascinated by elevators as a child) _______________________________________________ svn-src-head@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-head To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-head-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
