Abstract
The balustrade of a linear or curved escalator has upper and lower edges that are curved in elevation between the horizontal landing portions and the constant slope inclined medial portion of the escalator. The radius which defines the upper and lower balustrade curves is developed so as to have the maximum value possible without producing a discontinuity in the vertical distance between the escalator handrail and the escalator tread surface which would be noticeable by a passenger on the escalator.
