"The A17 story unfolded more than a century ago when 65 people came together in the Engineering Societies Building, NYC, to formulate the first model elevator safety code, subsequently identified as the A17 Code. Since those early days, scores of A17 Committee members have come together to produce 22 editions, 26 supplements and 15 addenda of the A17.1 Code. In addition, the A17 code-writers produced numerous other documents within the A17 family of publications. They were developed by countless people over a century.
The A17 story is about vertical transportation and people. Through this special historical publication, the A17 Centennial Project Committee will explore elevator industry history along the 1st century timeline and its many A17 Committee members who produced the A17 Code. The notable members are profiled in Appendix Charts 5 and 6, each covering half a century. They are the A17 “Movers and Shakers”!"
Only 300 copies will be available to the public in print.
