Random question:
I was on a site tour of a new facility the other day that's still in the concrete-pouring phase, but when looking at the stage house I was told they are preparing for a rigging system that will allow the arbors to pass below stage level into a basement pit.
I've only ever seen this before in another very large heavily-used space. Why is this done? Is it really just to allow the battens to lower all the way to the floor?
I can see how allowing the arbor to travel sub-level would help overcome the loss of batten travel due to height of the floor block and the arbor itself.
Is that really the big advantage? Would love some input on the benefits of this rigging feature.
