Carveyor

A Carveyor consisted of many small cubicles or cars carrying ten people riding on a flat conveyor belt from point A to point B. The belt rode on a series of motorized rollers.

At point "A" passengers would enter a Speedwalk running parallel to the belts and cars of the Carveyor.

Four years of engineering design, development and testing led to a joint patent being issued for three types of people movers, named Speedwalk, Speedramp, and Carveyor.

In November 1954 the New York City Transit Authority issued an order to Goodyear and Stephens-Adamson to build a complete Carveyor system between Times Square and Grand Central.

Several of these architects were involved in other programs, and in later years many variations of the Carveyor people movers were developed.
