Greetings, fellow OOPs fans! I'm here to remind you once again that there's a place called "Top Web Comics" https://www.topwebcomics.com/?home=3 that compiles comics from various places. There's a bunch of cool stuff there. They have monthly votes, so you can support OOPs there. You can vote once a day per device, so your PC, laptop, tablet, phone, etc.
I've noticed that you can sometimes even get in extra votes from different IP addresses, or if you're disconnected from your IP and open up again later.
OOPs closed out last month at 44th place and about 929 votes. It's currently at 600 votes and 59th place. The highest it's reached is 36th place, and the top vote getters seem to end up with something close to 20,000 votes. Today is the last day of the month. Let's do this!
Vote early, vote often! Help OOPs get noticed!

Wait a minute! This is the first time I've noticed the elevator operates on a screw shaft. Nice design Val! Simple and effective, and shows how House Ivenmoth can apply their sciences as they would have to be able to develop bearings to take the load rather than rely on friction surfaces, or the main screw would wear out within a decade.
Sorry, my engineering background making itself known.
Thing that really strikes me is that main bearing running in a groove corrugated by use like you have shown here would make kind of a 'rrrrrrrrrrrrrr' sound.
In all seriousness, did you think this through or did you just get a whole bunch of things amazingly right by accident?? Either way that's really impressive!

Think of a long bolt with a nut on it. If you stand the bolt upright on a table and spin the nut, it moves up and down the bolt. On a larger scale, the bolt is the shaft that the elevator moves up and down on, and the bolt is the elevator itself. To make this work for an elevator, you have to replace the nut with a bearing, similar to the wheel bearing on a car, and then mount the elevator onto the housing for the bearing. This reduces wear on the thread to almost zero and allows the elevator to move up and down the screw shaft without the whole thing rotating with the thread, like the nut does.
It all depends on what kind of bearing you go for, and how the elevator is powered, most importantly, does the shaft rotate or is it fixed? The bearing itself would be a completely different design depending on this one factor alone and there could be a dozen other things that influence the design.
Please forgive my poor attempt to explain. If I get the chance I'll create a basic example of something that might work here. Sometimes it's a lot easier to understand when you have an actual picture rather than just a description.

Even just this description helps a good deal! I was wondering how the elevator wasn't spinning. Turns out it's because of the housing for the bearing!
How is the force applied to the bearing to get the elevator to move? Is it someone working a crank? Gosh that's got to be tiring.

Something to consider when thinking about the elevator, the one first shown was a rope lift, no pole or anything through the middle. Second one showed a pole, but, it looked more like a securement than the actual lift method, with extra ropes going to the four courners.
Honestly I would expect a rope lift would be easyer to build and use, with the central pole being the guild to run it up and down on, sorta like a track. Rather than the track system used with modern elivators. On the other hand, it could be a screw drive system, but damn can you emagine the wear on the threads?

Ayyy I'm glad you appreciate that!
It's a design only Baramor knows how to make, trade secrets and alla that. And they're the only ones that know how to fix/maintain most of the more complex bits; so if something goes really wrong, you gotta summon tech support from a couple countries north. There's a rotating head above the elevator that runs across those grooves; the stuff on the bottom is all emergency catch-breaking parts.

They can talk as privately as they want, I'm sure Beizel will be close by. He might even drop in on the conversation himself.
I imagine Vizlet will want to talk about the incident with Brakka and quite possibly the egg that Kass cut open which I totally forgot about except I remembered.

Wait, hang on
That's a screw drive lift
And from the cut of the groove, it's a recirculating ball screw drive.
... With an extremely steep pitch.
Whatever's twisting that has got hella torque.
And yet apparently quite quiet.
Head researcher Ran!
I humbly request a field guide on how the heck does this thing work
