|
| Did Mitsubishi Electric really create the world's first curved escalator? What about the one installed in London’s Holloway Road Underground station in 1906? |
|
|
|
|
| The Holloway installation didn’t have steps, plus it was dismantled soon after installation. Mitsubishi Electric was the first to develop the first practical curved escalator, introduced in 1985, and to this day is still the only company that manufactures them.
