I guess many people will have seen these before but I'd never even been aware of their existence until I had to go to another building for training the other day... I needed to get to the sixth floor and was greeted with what looked like a dumb-waiter for humans! For those that don't know, a Paternoster Elevator is a constantly-moving cyclic lift with numerous open cabins which you may board and alight as you wish to move up or down between floors of a building - Marvellous things they are! (I'm just a big kid when it comes to things like this...) Found this pic on-line of a very similar looking one, also in Berlin...
