Week 9 - 2nd Stage Model Image Captures

Images: Uploads from UT2004 of Second Stage Model

Lift foyer with outward bound shafts on the left and inward bound on the right. Closest lift doors go down to Steve Jobs's office. Middle lift doors go up to Zhang Yin's office. Furthest lift shafts go across to the meeting place.

Steve Jobs's elevator. Demonic chair as employees fear riding in lift with him. There have been stories of Steve starting to talk to an employee on the ground floor and by the time they reach the 12th floor the employee has lost his job. Thus the chair suspended over a whole in the floor in a jury like position in front of Jobs's chair, ready to release through the floor at a moments notice. See http://archive.salon.com/tech/books/2000/10/11/jobs_excerpt/index2.html for elevator sacking and other Jobs-employee stories.

Zhang Yin's elevator. Has hierarchy of chairs as the business is family run and owned. Lift also has practical use for carrying paper on forklift like prongs and large lower level deck.
