Starting on Section 9: Elevators

As with the start of every section so far, the first few hours of work involve a lot of tedious unwrapping, cutting, deburring, and drilling; ending up with a pile of parts that don't look all that much different from what they looked like at the beginning. The elevators were no exception-- in fact, they seemed to involve an even greater number of small parts, each of which needing the same precision and care as the last.
