A paternoster (/ˈpeɪtərˈnɒstər/, /ˈpɑː-/, or /ˈpæ-/) or paternoster lift is a passenger elevator which consists of a chain of open compartments (each usually designed for two persons) that move slowly in a loop up and down inside a building without stopping. Passengers can step on or off at any floor they like. The same technique is also used for filing cabinets to store large amounts of (paper) documents or for small spare parts. The much smaller belt manlift which consists of an endless belt with steps and rungs but no compartments is also sometimes called a paternoster.
The construction of new paternosters was stopped in the mid-1970s due to safety concerns, but public sentiment has kept many of the remaining examples open. By far most remaining paternosters are in Western Europe, with perhaps 230 examples in Germany and 68 in the Czech Republic. Only two have been identified by hobbyists outside Europe: one in Malaysia, another in Peru.
Peter Ellis installed the first elevators that could be described as paternoster lifts in Oriel Chambers of Liverpool in 1868. In 1877, British engineer Peter Hart obtained a patent on the first paternoster. In 1884, the Dartford, England, engineering firm of J & E Hall built its "Cyclic Elevator".

Jukin Media Verified (Original) * For licensing / permission to use: Contact: licensing@jukinmedia.com I take a ride on a paternoster, an old school type of elevator consisting of a series of constantly moving "shelves" with open fronts. Passengers just step on and off the revolving "shelves" as they wish. A dozen or so are still in use in Prague -- quite a few, it turns out, throughout Europe. The one I rode in is in the Lucerna Pasaz in central Prague. According to Wikipedia, five people have died in paternosters since 1970. (The title of this video is meant to be tongue-in-cheek, by the way.)
http://tomscott.com - http://twitter.com/tomscott - There aren't many paternoster lifts left in the world: they're inaccessible, tough to maintain and a bit more dangerous than a regular lift. But some of them still exist: so if you're ever nearby, do stop by the University of Sheffield's Arts Tower and have a ride up and down. Just don't go over the top. Thanks to Chris Dymond, who was my camera operator for this trip to Sheffield!
Este único trabajo de una de las mas obscuras bandas que he conocido ellos son considerados dentro del Krautrock aunque en realidad son austriacos, su estilo es muy particular sobre todo la voz de Franz Wippel, es un tanto extraña y resulta difícil de digerir la primera ves que se escucha este disco, pero luego se le toma el gusto pues en realidad se trata de una obra realmente notable...

Padre nuestro, que arrastras por el suelo
Satanas sera to nombre
Vengan adorar nuestro malvado rey
Animador de voluntad negativo
En el tiempo de cristo, asi como en el dia del brujo
Danos hoy poder satanico, pa chingarnos este dia
Y perdona los necios sin fe negra
Asi como nosotros te rezamos de rodillas
No dejen de creer en satanas
