How the Cable Car Works

The Cable Car works by cable traction which is basically that
an endless cable, or wire rope, is kept in motion throughout
the route from a central power plant. The cable runs in a slot
below the surface of the street at a constant speed of about
9 miles per hour.

The car is equipped with a vice-like grip. The car moves forward
when the operator "The Gripman" pulls back on the lever which
closes the grip on the moving cable. When the gripman wants
to stop the car, he simply disengages the grip from the cable.

Founded in 1873
The last surviving Cable Car System in The World
