I'm not quite sure what the joke here is supposed to be. Many have tried to develop variable speed walkways, as one can see in [http://worldwide.espacenet.com/searchResults?page=0&compact=false&ST=advanced&locale=en_EP&DB=EPODOC&CPC=B66B23%2f26%2flow patents]. There was even a pair of these that were installed circa Y2K in the Paris subway (Châtelet-Les-Halles, IIRC), which is renowned for its long passageways. It is AFAIK no longer in service, I don't know why. When I saw it an attendant was present to watch over for making sure that users wouln't fall. This contraption is way more complicated than standard rubber-belt conveyors with its meshing steps. --[[Special:Contributions/70.52.115.181|70.52.115.181]] 15:59, 18 February 2013 (UTC) | I'm not quite sure what the joke here is supposed to be.

Do anybody know examples of such belts. The ones I recall has all one-speed-only [[User:Spongebog|Spongebog]] ([[User talk:Spongebog|talk]]) 10:43, 18 February 2013 (UTC) | Do anybody know examples of such belts.

: At Toronto Airport they have double speed moving sidewalks, that accelerate by stretching the panels. --[[User:Johnsmith|Johnsmith]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith|talk]]) 08:43, 19 February 2013 (UTC) | : At Toronto Airport they have double speed moving sidewalks, that accelerate by stretching the panels. --[[User:Johnsmith|Johnsmith]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith|talk]]) 08:43, 19 February 2013 (UTC) | ||

I was under the impression (from the alt-text), that they would take the belts inward traveling faster until they hi-five. Then, as they sped away, they would change sides and repeat the process. 10:56, 18 February 2013 (UTC) | I was under the impression (from the alt-text), that they would take the belts inward traveling faster until they hi-five.
