Got some old clamps myself - no "Craig" clamps - very cool. On the DNARG clamp... eyes are peeled, that would be cool. Got some Century clamps in
stock as with Major, old Mole, and Grand but mostly not very exciting. Got three spoke wheel 1" NPT
boom bases by Major and I think two by Century or were they Major in those companies somehow linked in this area along with some link between Major and Chicago
Stage Lighting. Major I remember made the reflectors on the Century "Lekolights." (Don't know for sure on the other
boom bases, the storage department lost my 8x9 Centuries that had the
boom bases attached. Not thrown out, just have not seen them sufficient to give them back in two years given a big building an a few storage trailers. Constantly would sware they have seen them in re-locating them, but cannot put their finger on where they are.) Got a
G-Clamp with a large antique cast
wing screw on it that's kind of cool also, this and a old broken cast aluminum studio style side arm by Major.
What I'm more looking for is a
fitting that goes between a 1920's stand light for both a box spot and an Ovalite which goes from the (roughly
hand cut) 1/2-13 screw thread at flower sort of spud flair and the what would no doubt be a 1" NPT pipe thread. Sort of an angle bracket which would have a pipe
fitting on the bottom end and slip plate for a wide flange and
bolt on the other side.
Interesting on the Craig clamp on the other
hand, looks like an NPT
fitting on the outside for use with a
coupler in say making a side arm, with the
bolt and it's casting as with the others above by derekeffew in bending.
Just made a 24 way 208V AC
distro and needed a 1/4" plate to support the
LED Little Light
transformer. Built most of it at home after normal working hours where I was not able to be bugged every 15 minutes by someone needing something or having some question. Love working at home on stuff. Don't get bugged, TV on, a
bit of refreshment
etc. Used what was left of a Channon I-Beam clamp part of a hemp rope shiv for this. Here is this 1926 or possibly much earlier plate out of a
German style church
Opera house that in part got used as a rowing machine hardware part a few months ago in needing it to do something or another, and what was cut off in being a 1/4x1x6" strip that still had Channon written on it, into this few thousand dollars worth of AC
distro for a new form of
hoist system on a rock tour. Kind of cool turn around in never throwing away nothing, this much less the history in a part living a life in the industry.
Electro Controls, similar shape to the later
Altman Heavy Duty for
1KL series.
Kliegl No 1850, 5/16"
yoke bolt, 3/4" stand-off
WestLite 4711, 5/16" clamp
bolt and 5/16"
yoke bolt, and seems the wrong shape to fit on any size pipe.
In the late 1970s, Grand
Stage Lighting of Chicago commissioned a foundry to make them a run of clamps with the name "GRAND" on them. Somebody got something backwards and they came out with "DNARG" on them. Len and ship, be on the lookout for these.
