»Hail Mary and Paternoster

Named because it resembles a massive, mechanical rosary, the Paternoster is a continous elevator device; although it was most popular in the third quarter of the twentieth century, some still survive and operate in Britain, Scotland, and those islands. A related device carries weary cyclists, pram-pushers, scooter-riders, and sundry up a hill in Trondheim, Norway. Alleluia.
UPDATE: What do you know, this was on BB today as well. And with this additional explanatory text. And this nice photo gallery.
