    Abstract: A panelized leg and scale tower is disclosed which is secured to a suitable foundation and which extends upwardly therefrom around the elevator legs. The tower is comprised of a plurality of curved panels which are bolted together to form a cylindrical tower extending for substantially the entire height of the elevator leg. A plurality of horizontal braces are provided within the tower at a predetermined spacing to maintain the cylindrical integrity of the tower when exposed to wind loads. The tower eliminates the need for guy wires or a lattice-type support structure normally used to support the elevator leg.
