The design of the escalator is simple; a pair of rotating loop chains pulls an array of stairs in a cycle, moving a group of people to the short distance at a limited speed. The escalator has become an essential equipment of the developed countries. However, passenger elevators are in use since 1870, and in 1899 the escalators took an integral part, and it was introduced to the world as a first commercial moving stairs by Otis Elevator Company, which has become successful instantly.
