The first set of cable cars were basic corrugated iron carts with a maximum capacity for 25 passengers and they ran from 1929 until 1958.
The next set had windows and were made of metal and could take 27 passengers at a time.
The facilities at the top consisted of a small tea room and some chemical toilets.
Today the cable cars are revolving high tech wonders, carrying 65 persons and offering incredible 360-degree views.
The Table Mountain Aerial Cableway has welcomed over 25 million visitors since 1929.
