Hi all. Show coming up has low profile wagons on straight casters, knife in a slot, standard sorta stuff. The only other time I've done a system like this, the aircraft cable attached to the knife went to a winch. For this production, budget dictates that we use manual power.
Is there an effective way to attach the aircraft cable to a a length of rope so that my stagehands can easily pull it? If not, is there a rope and clip recommendation you would have?
For additional info, the wagons are 2*4 stock ripped in half, 3/4 ply tops on side mount, trundle casters. Each is 10' long with a 12' tall, 10' wide studio style flat mounted on the DS edge. The knife is a piece of 1-1/2 x 2" angle steel 1/8" thickness going into a subdeck of 3/4 sanded plywood on 2*3 sleepers.
