"The construction of the inclined lift from the roadway up the sloping face of the retaining wall is of particular interest.  It is a Schindler lift of a design which can be adapted to embrace any angle of incline and any height of ascent, with as many intermediate stops as might be necessary for any particular requirement.  This is the first installation of its kind in Hong Kong."

"General contractor:  Union Construction Co.

Lift installation:  Jardine Engineering Corp. Ltd."
