I expect that the same problem would be effected by an elevator that
doesn't stop perfectly level with the floor, or has too wide a gap
between the car and the floor, or even on tiled floor.
That really seems to me like it's a sub-optimal design, pushed past it's
operating parameters by overloading it.
I can't fault the raised floor for that problem.
No, but it's just one of the anecdotes that go with the terrain, like
leaving a box or two of cards or a stack of tapes or your dinner on top
of a 1403N1 when it ran out of forms..
How well sealed were the raised floors? I ask this because i recall an
episode or two where a disk drive would spring a leak and make a
beautiful slippery pool on the floor, just waiting for the next operator
to dash by. I always wondered how much of the stuff made it to the subfloor.
