| Description: | The Car Parking Machine - A vertical elevator is the very latest idea to overcome that City Car Parking difficulty. Chicago, United States of America. Various shots show an amazing automatic car parking machine. A car is driven into a compartment at the base of the machine. There are numerous compartments in the machine, and they are moving constantly in a vertical direction, like a car elevator. The machine takes up the same amount of space on the ground as six cars, and stretches high into the sky, holding a total of 48 cars. Someone comes to pick up their car; the attendant turns a dial and the compartments are rotated to bring the man's car down to the bottom. Another attendant backs the car out of the compartment for the owner. The first vertical automatic car parking machine in commercial operation; installed in the heart of the Chicago loop district. Natural sound. | |
