[SML] Automated linesets

[Bill Conner]

You can come out ahead - but not without lots of money.  Hopefully
I'll have a little experiential information after this coming season
at Alley Theatre, my fourth fully motorized stage rigging system (all
linesets motorized, not counterweight or dead hung hybrid.)   Not sure
what constitutes "available commercial systems" in your mind and what
function - load and speed - you need. Assume around $50,000 per line
set for equivalent function of counterweight in terms of load and
speed.
