I toured a tower house in Ireland recently, and they mentioned this interesting fact. In addition to that, the height of the stairs also was varied from step to step to slow down anyone running up the stairs.
Also, the lower floors had super narrow windows to prevent archery people from shooting arrows through them

D1 and I took a ride on a Ford Trimotor back in 1997. The seats were not dissimilar - basically just office chairs bolted to the floor.

George, do you remember what it was like?
I read that they vibrated hard due to the engine attached to the fuselage and that it was so loud it was hard to hear. Looking at the Harley landing gear, I would imagine some landings were pretty hard. Cool that you were able to take a ride in one! -
