What is this "pin" thing called?

We did have much more, ummm, colorful names for them though. I now realize that I should thank my lucky stars that I have only tread the boards under counterweighted fly pipes. You are no safer because of a counterweighted system than a hemp house. I think that you would actually be safer in a hemp house, as there, ALL the folks doing rigging know how to tie the correct knots correctly, and are generally more careful in their actions. Barring a visit from Davie Dimmers of course, then all bets are off. --Dale (( Davie Dimmers is a ( hopefully ) mythical character who is forever doing really clever, stupid and dangerous things in technical theatre. I believe he is an invention of Clive Mitchell . )) |
