There appears to be six flat steps at the entrance and exit ends of these units...
Most escalators have between two and four flat steps at the entrance and exit ends.
I believe this is because it is hard to see the other end of the escalator when you
are bent over at the key switch to start the unit and there are more than four flat steps.
