What and where would one find the slash line?
When I proposed the question I had no intention of " inventing" a new term. Slash line was simply the term I was taught. Clearly a few other members had a very good idea just what was meant by it. Search engines are a great tool for finding terms but they are only as good as their spiders make them. Cut line or slash line that method of triggering the (asbestos) fire curtain is long gone. In today's world it is likely best that a slash line belongs to the costume shop.Just because slash and cut are synonyms doesn't mean one can invent new glossary terms.
@IsaacKirkwood Sorry! @venuetech had the correct answer in the post before yours from November 17th, 2017.Are we perhaps referring to the LX shorthand for "thru" when selecting channels?
Makes me wonder when was it last tested.The Theatre I was in last night still has a slash line with the knife attached at the defacto SM Station. Unfortunately, there is a stuff in the way that would make it difficult to actually get to the slash line. Typical county run facilty. @Footer should be familiar with the Jennie T Anderson from his old job from years ago.
@venuetech When it originally opened in the fall of 1973, the Hamilton Place Great Hall was a 2183 seat soft-seater with a slash line; a knife on a chain DSR and a round iron ball at DSL. The knife on the chain was the most used, and probably dullest, knife because EVERYONE used it; carpenters to trim hemp and even 1 x 2's and LX to cut tie lines. The original knife was removed and sharpened a few times but was eventually replaced by a knife with replaceable blades. Like the IA; some call it nepotism, we call it tradition.Makes me wonder when was it last tested.
@jonliles @venuetech @Footer @derekleffew @gafftaper @dvsDave @tdtastic While we're chattering away about "slash lines" and knives routinely provided chained conveniently nearby for the purpose of slashing same, how many of you are familiar with the cast iron balls approximately 1.25 to 1.5" in diameter which were commonly found on the free end of the slash line on the opposite side from the slash knife and below the counter-weight carriage for the fire curtain / asbestos / call it what you will?Makes me wonder when was it last tested.
I totally love your "trompe loiel" and please keep in mind this is coming from a guy who knows less than zero about painting and thinks one of the best uses for a paint brush is adding drag to doors on box sets, just enough so they'll remain wherever preset without blowing in the breeze. I have seen a friend's attempt at a similar "trompe loiel" visual effect painted on the entire floor of his powder room immediately inside his front door to literally startle the excrement out of guests casually walking in in the dark and closing the door prior to turning the light on. He and his wife's floor is designed to appear as if there is no floor and that you're somehow magically standing in mid-air about 20' above the concrete basement floor slab, of course the toilet drain pipe is painted in situ along with ceiling joists, and all the plumbing, electrical, HVAC and cross bracings you'd normally expect to NOT be seeing. I believe there's something similar on line they copied their work from.View attachment 15515 In the belief that every kitchen needs a theme, and we like trompe loiel this is our kitchen art. The rope is real. The knife painted.
