I agree, that terminal looks nice.
I've never seen an 8-pack in construction before. I personally haven't found pictures of them too common.

Isn't it odd that "politics" is made up of the word "poli" meaning many, and "tics" meaning blood-sucking creatures?

This will be Leitner's second 8-pack chair. The first one was installed last year in Norway. Leitner is also now using a slightly different entry funnel design on their detachable lifts.
The change in funnel design is probably attributed to the use of their new LPA grip which is now being used in Europe.

What is the LPA grip? I seems like it stands for Leitner POMA of America but that wouldn't make any sense since I thought all of L-P of America's grips are designed and manufactured over in France.

The LPA grip is the new grip designed jointly by Leitner and Poma in Europe (brief description on Leitner's website- "Leitner News" top of the page). The installation in Norway last year was the first and they have three or four planned for this year. It is planned to become the "common" grip for both companies in the near future. Don't know when it will come to North America. There was an example at the LPOA booth at RMLA last May.

Neither- they are LEITNER 8 place chairs. In Europe, Leitner and Poma have not consolidated like in North America. You can tell it is a LEITNER chair by looking at the spring dampening on the end of the hanger connector. There is an article about this on the Leitner website:Services and Support:Service Info Bulletin No.1
