TERRACE —— Work has started on: ‘reconditioning the old Kit-. . sumkalum: Ski lift for use on Shames ‘Mountain, The work, under contract to Mueller. Lifts, the builder of the lift, involves checking for damage, greasing parts and ' teplacing: those which are no. longer. any good: | ‘One of the key parts of the. work: is installing new tire- shapped' rubber liners on the. Wheels over. which the: ski Lift cable runs, ‘says Rod Allan, one” of the workers. : They’ re expensive but they are made from a compound which” can take. any. kind of temperature variations,’? che said ofthe liners which come from Mueller’ 8 Switzerland The wheels are made: of aluminum: and the complete package, when installed on top. of - the:.lift’ towers, are called sheave assemblies, “There are 18. towers so ‘that’s 30 assemblies and there can be as many 10 wheels,”” said Allan. ; The number of wheels is determined by the load factor at 25% OFF _ ABBEY HORIZONTAL. & VERTICAL BLINDS our other specials _ ~ Make a Fashion Statement With | Your r Windows!

Allan said. ; He added the iift equipment is in good shape despite it stan- ding idle since Kitsumkalum ° closed four years ago.“ . The equipment was removed from Kitsumkalum using a large “helicopter 10 days,ago.. . And since ski lift technology | has changed. greatly over the - past few years, the recondition- : ed lift will have new features. One of those is installing lif- ting frames on each tower so the cable can be more easily replac- ed should it come off the wheels, : Another is an electrical detec- y tion system which can pinpoint © the tower on which the- cable becomes detached, said Allan. . The reconditioning . work is "just one aspect of what is need- ed to'make the ski lift ready for the Shames development. There'll be a new cable,'a new return station through which the cable will pass on the bot- tom of the lift and new chairs. RINK Valances are FREE: ¢* y iwith every verticle blind order.
