Not OP, but here's how I think it worked:
There are effectively two vertical shafts, and the elevator car goes up one and down the other. If the car flipped over as it goes over the top to the other shaft, then what was the floor would become the ceiling. So, tape something to the floor to identify it as it's going up, then wait for that car to come down the other shaft and look at where your identifying paper is.
It does seem pretty obvious that it wouldn't flip over - that seems like an insanely dangerous design.
