Here's the one I have... don't remember where I got it.... made by Times
Square Theatrical.... I personally never used it in a theatre, but I did
use it a time or two on some outdoor film shoots, back in the 90s.  But I
remember home-made versions of these used all the time in the theatre in my
youth.... I remember this is what my high school used, although they were
home-made in coffee cans....
