  • I loved this video, especially the part where Paul mentions about the tolerance for the angle of 90 degrees :D

  • @ glooer oops the wrong snake alley, it is in iowa rather than SF, but look very similar though.

  • The trollys are fun, but a tad scary going down those hills lol.

    Lombard street is a treat to go down in a car too. loved visiting san francisco.

  • You went to San Francisco and didn't even go to the Full House house? Shame.

  • lol i live San Francisco

  • lol it's cute when you go up and down up and down the escelators.

    wow that's some crazy street there... o_O TJ's walking is most excellent lol

    ahhh, you went to a youtube convention there? nice. i see you met Fred lol

    ok, on to part 2.

  • The San Francisco cable cars run on a cable that runs just under the street. The cable constantly moves and the operator can "clutch" onto it, or brake the train.

    The orange streetcar that the Engineers rode after the cable cars runs off of overhead electric cables, like the MUNI trains (not shown) and the BART train runs on electric power from an electrified third rail underneath the train.

    And, its all done more efficiently than a combustion engine, as any engineer will tell you.

  • Now a small sight level would of been perfect with that tape measure (would of hated to lay out that road (poor civil engineers) the 90 degree tolerance could be +/- 3 % but probably depends if it's universal parking : ) could get away with more tolerance : )
