Your right Marty, I'll refrain from doing that in future!
 Basicly we did the same, except we used PVC pipe instead of a carpet inner roller.
However the roller drop will be probably be hoisted with pulley blocks, to have the ability to set & adjust the aspect of rhe tail baten dead to that of the deck.
Also there is a fair weight in a tail baten & a cloth landing on someone, which may end up with the same result in that of a flown cloth or a compression lift French flats &/or set piece.  Edited by JoeMc - 11/02/10 at 7:05pm |

G'dona!
Just as a piont of interest Hywell my old welsh china plate, who I worked with to produce the tumbler, surname happens to be Williamns. So it must be in the genes.  Edited by JoeMc - 11/03/10 at 6:20pm |

Hywell is from Llanelley in Wales & at present is on his third tour of the UK as the Production/tech manager, with the production of 'Just Neol';-
John Michael Swinbank Sings Noël Coward They keep being invited back to London to do the production about the life of Noel Coward. Funnily enough Hywell knew my uncle Robert McCabe, who owned an engineering Company in Llanelly & Nancy his wife, who was the daughter of a Llanelly pub owner. Which was Hywell's local pub & watering hole of the Llanelly Rugby Club Hywell used to play for in his youth. Acording to my sister our Aunty Nancy was a twig off the Williams family tree as well, so the old 'less than 6 degrees of seperation' comes into play once more. Edited by JoeMc - 11/05/10 at 6:50am |
