Janovský and his son, Marek Zalabák, were waiting for us in the center of town. After a night’s rest, we rented a car and made the hourlong drive to Kolin. We landed in the beautiful city of Prague.

Meeting Janovský was extremely exciting for Moshe and me, since we both owe part of our professional knowledge to him. My father-in-law, Moshe, who founded our family’s 30-year-old elevator company, Rips Elevators, joined me on the trip to meet Janovský and to hand him a copy of the Hebrew version of his book.

I suggested we meet when the book was ready.Īfter a year of translating and updating the book for Israel, the Hebrew version was ready, and we were prepared to travel to Kolin. I contacted him via email and found him to be a warm and pleasant person. I was told the 87-year-old Janovský was living in his hometown of Kolin, Czech Republic. I began my mission to translate Janovský’s book by contacting Elevator World, Inc. Janovský is considered the “master of elevator engineering”to such an extent that if someone is extremely professional or solves a complex elevator engineering issue, we say he “did the Janovský!” The third edition was published in 1999 and is one of the only instructional texts related to elevator engineering for professionals in Israel. by Yuval Valiano-RipsĪbout a year ago, I took it upon myself to translate into Hebrew Elevator Mechanical Design, the seminal elevator engineering text by Lubomír Janovský. A journey of discovery starts with the creation of a classic elevator text’s Hebrew version.
