Default Re: Motorized curtains on set

I'm looking at the Olio/Roll Drop now possibly for another part of the production (we're assembling a false proscenium and rising house curtain for Hot Box sequence). The Olio seems pretty self explanatory, however I'm hearing a few things about an "inverted olio" or "inverted roll drop" that essentially has the rolling drum at the top. An inverted structure would actually be better for this set too if the motors don't work out.

Has anyone heard of this? Does anyone know of any diagrams that would demonstrate that? Having the drum at the top would make the drop appear a bit cleaner and wouldn't have the ropes hanging along the side.

Thanks!
