How does a ski chairlift slow down for the people getting on/off, but the rest of the chairs in the middle of the ride up don’t feel it?
In:
The chairs disconnect from the main drive cable as they enter the stations at each end. They proceed on a slower drive system in the stations then reconnect to the main cable as they leave.
