Anderson man counting on raising profile for new elevator
Neale said he has no background in elevator design, and has spent most of his life as a “common worker and laborer” with stints in construction.
He said it is difficult to say how much time and money he has invested in the development of the prototype. The project has occupied much of his time. Neale said he has relied on support from his wife and a circle of friends.
The upcoming trade show will mark the first time Neale has taken his work public. He is hoping that someone from the elevator manufacturing or mechanical engineering industry who attends the trade show will see his prototype and show an interest in his design.
If nothing else, he said, he needs to start exposing his work and gathering feedback.
“We are at a point where we need to take the next step,” he said. “The way I understand the process, it takes years.”
Lucky seven?
The prototype that Jim Neale will take to the Invention and New Product Exposition this month in Pittsburgh, Pa., is the seventh he has developed.
