I think I will write a letter and leave it in the office explaining my
wishes, then it is up to them to contact me back if they think it is a
reasonable request. And it doesn't put me on the spot mumbling about how
I've not really any reason to go up to see the hoist motor, but that I just
want to. :)

I think for me the apeal is more in that, I ride in the cabin every single
day but I don't know what any of the things behind the scenes look like. I
get a big thrill out of things like that. I understand how simple modern
lifts are (just a series of ropes pasing over the sheave directly coupled to
the rotor of the drive) but it is still a huge excitement for me. As anyone
who knows me will tell you, I am very, very easily entertained by even the
simpelest of things.
