creating a 90degree spiral chute

creating a 90degree spiral chute

(OP)
Hello,

I have a project creating a 90 degree spiral chute for a food manufacturing facility.  The top conveyor to which the chute takes product from is 24" across and it narrows down and exits to a 18" conveyor.  The issue I run into is there is a 11" drop from the top of the chute to the bottom.  I have AutoCAD and need to give drawings to our maintenance guys can anyone help?

Thanks in advance,
Eric

Print the drawing and hand it to the maintenance guys?

Perhaps a bit more of an explanation of what you're trying to accomplish would help.

Pardon,for being off topic.

Please go to the supreme Court in Washington D.c and take a look at the spiral stairs that were built. There is an interesting commentary too about them,more on the lines of suggestion by Kenat. It is just marvellous.
