Mitsubishi has erected a tall, skinny, hollow tower filled with elevator shafts for testing high-speed lifts:
The 173m-high (567ft) structure is called Solae and dominates the skyline of Inazawa City…
The 5bn-yen ($50m;£25m) project will allow Mitsubishi to test new drives, gears, cables and other lift systems.
