"Google transation"

[edit]

This entry is mainly derived, via a "Google translate" job, from this source http://www.seilbahninventar.ch/objekt.php?objid=43244&lang=en [as cited]; I have tidied up the previously awkward or confusing English. IMHO: It still needs an edit and fact check. Tjej (talk) 01:54, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Method of movement

[edit]

I'm not quite sure the train actually 'hovers' on any sort of 'cushion' - a quick look at the actual track and it's visible that there are tyre-marks on the concrete. It's likely the trains seem cushioned as they simply roll on rubber tyres. But then again, I don't know if this is worth discussing or if it's even possible to verify.

It does run on a cushion of air. Read the Otis Hovair entry.
