[Unlike most QotDs, this one is open to everyone, especially olde pharts.]
In the late 1970s/very early 1980s, a company marketed a follow spotlight specifically to be run while the operator was in a seated position. As best I can recall, it looked like an orb atop a trapezoidal pedestal. I don't remember the light source, probably 1000W FEL. The lamp and reflector may have been mounted near the floor, pointing up and bouncing off a manually-operated moving mirror. Not Colortran Colorspot/Colorarc, and this was before Lycian or even Phoebus.
Anyone have pictures or remembrance of said instrument?
What was the name of the manufacturer?
Were any actually made/sold?
I suspect it's going to take someone armed with a stack of dusty Theatre Crafts magazines to answer. Start with 1979. Do they still have periodicals in those obsolete buildings known as libraries?
