Frowning Soft Goods: Scrim, Cyc, Bounce

Since all your overhead pipes are cabled direct to pipe hangers, there’s no (easy) adjustment to be made if the pipe isn’t level. Thus and for the cyc I would roll the bottom pipe to get fabric clean across the bottom.

I think if you look closely those are and adjustable trim plate. There are a series of holes in the plate between thimble and pipe clamp and you can trim by changing which hole in trim plate with top bolt in pipe clamp.

My version of the history is Richard Mecke at Texas Scenic developed this as a result of Randy Davidson (Dr Doom) not accepting grade 30 trim chain for overhead lifting in inspections. This was before alloy chains that could be used for overhead lifting.
