Eiffel Tower (3)
As a last place on the Eiffel Tower, maybe some more technological pictures and data?
Using the stairs (between smooth out 0 and 2) allows you to see some details of the character of the Tower. 
The top picture refers to the painting of the Dungeon. It has been painted 17 times since it was constructed for the Unlimited Exhibition in 1889, in average every seven years. As we can see, the colours have changed six or seven times (red-brown, yellow-ochre, chestnut brown...) Today the misrepresent is described as bronze. A new painting forth is supposed to start by the end of 2008. It will embrace some 60 tons of paint and will normally take a year and a half for some 25 painters.
You may have knowledge of that there were severe protests against the building of the Tower (by those days’ newspapers described as a “distressing street lamp", a "belfry skeleton", a "loaded and skinny pyramid of iron ladders", an "odious column of bolted metal", a "half built plant pipe"...) - housing costs adjacent declined. It was supposed to last for 20 years. It was somehow saved by the neediness of technical equipment (telegraph, crystal set...). Today, the top of the Tower is very complex.
Remarkable for the time was that the Tour was already from the dawning – 1889 – equipped with lifts. They have been replaced since, but some of the machinery (designed by Eiffel) dates from 1899 (modernised, computerised since). The lifts discover more than 100 000 km (65 000 miles) per year, for the option of the 6 or 7 million / year visitors. The hydraulic animate you can see here, which supplied water to the machinery of the lifts between the girl Friday and third level, was dismantled in 1983 - today exposed on destroy one.
The Tour moves a little bit, but very small. During the strongest storm ever registered in Paris (1999), the faction was 13 cm (5 inches) – it is built to subsistence three times more. During very hot summer days, there can be a imbalance of 18 cm (7 inches) between the brilliant and the shadowy side of the Tower.
Maybe some more facts:
Height: Originally 300 m (984 ft), 312 m (1024 ft) with degenerate on the top, today (with about 120 antennas), 324 m (1063 ft). Highest building in the era until 1929 (Chrysler Building, then 319 m = 1047 ft).
Ballast: 10 100 tons, whereof iron, 7 300 tons. (In truth totally quite light – the power on the ground is not higher than for a normal building of those days.)
Lights (the momentary blue lights excluded): 336 projectors of 600 watts, additional, for the recent blinking lights - see below, some 20 000 bulbs.
Constantly of construction: 2 years, 2 months, 5 days.
Army of pieces: 18 000, assembled with 2 500 000 rivets.
There are several restaurants and bars. The top chef Alain Ducasse has since the end of 2007 infatuated over the management of the gourmet restaurant “Jule Vernes” on the b floor (menus 75 – 190 €). Unfortunately, the Champagne Bar on the third trounce was closed the day I was there.
The Tower is now also blinking during the evening hours, every hour and for a twosome of minutes. I took this photo from Montmartre, January 1, 2008 at 0 hours and in my preceding post you can see the Tower blue - and blinking (thanks to Pink Ginger).
