there are not very many you go up to then top in an elevator that is shaped like a pod
One is the "Gateway To The West" arch in St. Louis, Missouri. It is also possible McDonalds Restaurants have a double inverted catenary arch shape. It resembles a letter M in script form.
Key-stone.
The key stone is the stone placed at the apex of the arch, and prevents the two sides of the arch falling in and collapsing.
the key stone is the stone that is at the top of an arch. It is this stone that absorbs the majority of the forces stabilizing the arch formed

It is a catenary, as defined by the following mathematical equations: y = cosh(x) or y = (e^x + e^-x)/2 A catenary is the shape which a flexible linear object with constant mass will naturally hang in when it's endpoints are fixed. The classic example is a cable or a chain. Catenary's have a practical application in arch construction because the force of the weight of the higher portions of the arch is always directed into the lower portions of the arch, making it very self supporting. This is why the Arch is constructed as a catenary, and why it is still standing.
It is the keystone.
I know that the top stone, is called a Key stone.

The term for an arch rotated 180 degrees on its axis is a "catenary arch." This shape is derived from the mathematical curve known as a catenary, which describes the ideal form of a hanging chain or cable when supported at its ends and acted upon by gravity. When this curve is rotated 180 degrees, it creates an arch that is often used in architecture and engineering for its structural efficiency.
