This part of Book 2 is about elevator ropes, which is the second most important component of traction elevators, the first being the drives. Without good knowledge on the maintenance of ropes or proper maintenance, ropes could get deteriorated quickly, imposing a very high risk to the safe operation of the elevators. This part consists of seven chapters. Besides the main content, which is the original article published in an edition of Elevator World, each chapter comes with a tutorial where certain points within the article are further elaborated on or clarified to help readers understand the content more thoroughly. The derivation of equations is included in the tutorials, which is mainly for the interest of those who love mathematics. Readers often don't need to fully understand the derivation to understand the content of the articles and attempt the assessment questions. Then, there are learning reinforcement questions for each chapter. No model answer is offered to the learning reinforcement questions, but readers are welcome to write to us for further discussion.
At the end of each section, there are assessment examination questions that readers who want to get the appropriate CEUs must attempt and submit to Elevator World. Readers must pick one out of five choices as the answer of each assessment examination question. Though there may be more than one correct choice of each question, readers must select the best answer out of five.
