Abstract: A drive shaft for an elevator system, includes a support shaft and a traction sheave with at least one traction face for driving a traction mechanism, for example a drive belt, of the elevator system. A connection is provided for the transmission of a drive torque from the support shaft to the traction sheave, the traction sheave being of separate configuration from the support shaft. The traction sheave is held with an inner guide face on an outer guide face of the support shaft. The connection includes at least one axially projecting traction sheave-side circumferential stop which is in positively locking engagement with a support shaft-side circumferential stop.

Abstract: A novel catalyst for hydration of ethylene to ethyl alcohol comprises active synthetic silicon dioxide as a base having deposited thereon natural kieselguhr and phosphoric acid. The catalyst is prepared by precipitative silicon dioxide from sodium silicate with hydrochloric acid, filtering the precipitate, admixing it with natural kieselguhr and phosphoric acid and annealing the resultant composition.
