<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hi, folks. When last we spoke, I was looking for advice on a practical telephone setup, and I decided to go with a phone line simulator, which worked great for cueing the ringing and letting the booth feed cues to the performer during a one woman show. If we'd needed to get her back on track, it would have been a lifesaver. Benefit of working with a pro, she never needed to use the audio portion, but it was good to know we had it. Thanks to everyone on the advice for that one!<br><br></div>This next show has a new wrinkle: We want to build a combo traveler/tableau curtain set. When closed, we will tie off the operating lines for the traveler curtain and manipulate the tableau feature. My thinking is to have the "offstage" pulleys for the tableau curtain attached to the carriers for the traveler, so that the operating line for the tab curtains rides along and is in place when the curtains are closed. I think some carabiners attached to a few carriers will help guide the tab operating line along the back of the curtains so it doesn't droop and get tangled in the other hardware, but still let the rope pay out as we open and close.<br><br></div>So, my question: Have any of you attempted this combo before? My main concern is the operating lines for everything getting fouled either on other hardware or their own pulley, since we can't keep a constant tension on the tab operating lines without halting the traveler function. Thoughts?<br clear="all"><div><div><div><div><br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature">Jamie Lindemann<br>540-449-3132<br><a href="mailto:jalinde@gmail.com" target="_blank">jalinde@gmail.com</a></div>
