The skycrane was an impressive sight, even for someone with modern biases who had been spoiled many times by new inventions. A cable stretched so high above them she couldn’t even imagine what it must be made of, yet it looked only a few times thicker than her own body.  As it got lower, she could see it ended in a metallic apparatus that gripped several trays all at once, with a gyroscopic mechanism connecting them all and holding them level despite the wind.
