Hello all! New to the forum and new to the world of theater. I recently took over operations manger at the local civic center. I have had an overdue inspection done on our theatre. And one of the concerns is the way this batten and trim chains are terminated. In the report they stated that the trim chain is " side loaded". The current configuration has been this way for around 40 yrs. Any recommendations on how to configure this to where my trim chains run vertical vs. at an angle? The 2 pipe need to remain on the same electric. I did find the Batten Clew which looked like it would work inverted. But the manufacture stated they did not recommend installing inverted. Not to mention they were almost $900 each and I need 18 total. And the company that completed the inspection would certainly re-rig it for 23k. Looking to possibly do in house as we are a small venue with a small budget. Thank you for any advice.
