I am currently at a high school that opened in the early 1970's. The auditorium has not had many updates and I "think" the rigging is all original. The problem is no one at the school knows how to use the rigging. We think we know what it does, but aren't sure if it works or if it is safe. I took some photos so I could get some help figuring out the system.
The first photo is the bar that holds the ropes. The next one shows the counter weight (I think). the it has the point were the ropes start to go along the ceiling. The last one has the bar that we think can be raised or lowered. Its the straight beam.
