Authentic these facts are, for last week the American Institute of Steel Construction worked them out after a two-year study. Employed in the long study were William Clifford Clark, chief economist of S. W. Straus & Co., and a group of skilled architects, construction engineers, elevator engineers, steel men, electricians, plumbers, rental agents, building managers...
...steel colleagues told him he could run his building as high as he pleased. Their structural steel could stand any strain. The elevator men told him, however, not to go above 150 stories (2,000 feet high), because to travel higher would require too heavy elevator cables and because the cars would be required to travel more than 1,500 feet a minute.
