A multiple choice question arose recently regarding the proper order of hanging lights and loading a counterweight fly system's arbor. Two of the four answers were clearly wrong and easily dismissed. Of the other two, one was to hang half the lights on the batten, then load half the weight on the arbor. The other was to hang all the lights, then load all the weight.
The "correct" answer was the former. I was taught, some thirty-plus years ago, to do the latter. Discuss.
