More moving walkways

I’ve been having a little too much fun researching the history of moving walkways for my next ‘At the Airport’ column on USA TODAY.

The column should post shortly, but in the meantime, here are couple of great images from 1955 that the Otis Elevator Company – which still has a patent on the term Travl-O-Lator – shared for the story:
