[SML] Motor controls in scenery

[Chad Croteau]

Hi Bill,

Sounds like an argument about "best practice".  Forgive me, but I'm not sure how the length of fun or calibre of production affects the required safety measures for the machinery in question.  I would argue that if our industry practice is to put two limit switches on the machinery, then that's what should be done, regardless of if its ahigh school  production or the next Broadway hit.
