Length notes, December 2023[edit]

Dear editors, I've just completed a major expansion of the article.

I couldn't find a WP:RS for the traction power (I think 480kW) previously in the article. Honestly, the technical details haven't really been well-recorded on the Internet.
I ran into some problems calculating the line's length. The sources offer different values, and the Doppelmayr source impossibly puts the inclined length as shorter than the elevation difference. The current values in the article are my best guess from the various values in the sources: the 'Measure Distance' tool on Google Maps implies that the run length is likely around 294 metres, and if we accept 338 metres as the total or inclined length, then by Pythagoras' theorem, we reach just north of the 166 metres that sources offer as the difference in elevation. None of these values are my own research, but I've had to make an educated guess as to what these values actually represent, given that the sources contradict each other and appear to mislabel them.

I will search if I can find anything more on the system's history, as it seems unlikely to have had so little recorded of it since 1959. With that in mind, happy editing! IgnatiusofLondon (talk) 16:01, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
