I believe this is the same set of escalators...
An original photograph has been manipulated using the
tilt-shift miniature faking technique. This makes the photo
appear to be composed of miniature objects but it is not.

A Peelle Motorstair in the Sheridan Village (circa 1955) - Tulsa, Oklahoma, U.S.A.
Patrick A. Carrajat informs me that, "This is the original Peelle with coil handrails.
The coil handrail was composed of a round rubber bellows over which the metal coil
was fixed. In the photo you can see sections in silver and sections in black, this was
the common way of setting these up. The coil handrail proved hard to hold and was
replaced with the bracelet handrail which used a sectional bellows that came in 10 or
more different lengths which were attached to a chain via special clips. The actual
plastic bracelet inserts were shaped like the top of a conventional handrail and you
simply popped them onto the bellows. The inserts were available in many colors
including black, silver, gold, red, etc." Thank You Patrick!

Quite a few flat steps in London, United Kingdom
This makes it hard to see all the way to the other end when
stopping and starting the unit. You really need another
person or a barricade at the opposite end for everyone's safety.
