Stairways

[zigmark]

I was forwarded this link yesterday and thought it was interesting. There really isn't any description or measurements shown, but it appears that along this stairway one of the rises exceeds 3/8" variance allowance. I'm sure this exists in many parts of the country I just thought you all would appreciate it. Maybe it was even posted here previously and I missed it?

I thought someone would have posted this previously, but figured it couldn't hurt for those of us who hadn't seen it.

That was a good one Francis.

They could program it to play a song rather than as a true keyboard.

Here the ADA would probably require flashing lights or something in addition to the sounds.

If using flashing lights, then they would have to have a synchronizer to prevent the strobe effect that may lead to people having seizures.
