That means a 32 ft carrier spacing and a 5.12 sec load interval...
I smell a typo on the part of your source.

Think so? It looks more like a typical 50' space to me; 32' is just about the distance from the uphill guide sheave around the bullwheel to the downhill guide sheave, meaning that the carriers in the above photo should be closer together.

I guess Hall doubles just have a special place in my heart since that's what I learned to ski on and my home hill runs a majority of.
