[16:15] eRigger: hi
[16:15] NewbieRigger: I have a question...for roll drops
[16:16] NewbieRigger: where is the drum rigged to?
[16:16] eRigger: which kind of drop
[16:16] NewbieRigger: just roll drops..not oleo..
[16:17] eRigger: ok
[16:17] eRigger: rigged how?
[16:17] NewbieRigger: Since it doesn't need to fly...it wouldnt be on the batten
[16:17] eRigger: it could be
[16:17] NewbieRigger: so would it be attached to the architecture of the theater itself??
[16:17] eRigger: but yes, usually not
[16:17] eRigger: yes, architecture
[16:17] eRigger: or a piece of scenery
[16:18] NewbieRigger: ohhh ok so for the model..can i just attach it to a piece of balsa wood or something
[16:18] NewbieRigger: and say that it's a batten, and not build a counterweight system supporting it?
[16:18] eRigger: I suppose
[16:18] eRigger: ok
[16:18] eRigger: I would think of this installation more how it would appear in the Rauh
[16:19] eRigger: someplace with a lower ceiling
[16:19] eRigger: as thats when you most need to use this kind of device
