[Bassmansam]

Whats the point of them things that are attached to some entrances to buildings where you have to get in it and follow it round?

Revolving doors you mean? Prevent howling gales coming into the building due to pressure differential between inside and outside.

I now have a new name for a revolving door, I can't wait to try it out

 

[Diddums]

Yep, to keep the weather out.

I used to make them actually at Boon Edam in Holland. Used to make the top and bottom rails, was a pretty damn interesting job tbh.

They're also quite good at controlling pedestrian traffic as they normally mean that for every person coming in one can leave, and mean you don't stand in the doorway.

From now on I'm calling them door rotators.

They were fitted at the small shopping mall at Surrey Quays, I think that they worked via a sensor.
They were quite big, and if you stood inside the radius of the doors, they would start to revolve and you slowly followed the movement of the door until you were inside then went where you liked.
They were posted, AUTOMATIC, DO NOT PUSH, but inevitably some impatient cretin would disregard that and push the door if he/she deemed it to be too slow, result? doors came to a standstill for a couple of seconds
