The endless-rope system generally used on moderate and constant gradients where the floor is good. In this system, the rope runs underneath the tubs or cars in the center of the rails. Curves are negotiated by a series of small vertical pulleys between the rails and are best of large radius. Clips are generally preferred to lashing chains, and the system suits automatic clipping and unclipping. CF: overtub system Sinclair, 5
