<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear Ken,</div><div>Why not just install a bottom pipe, use turnbuckles or counterweights to suck it to the floor while wetting it with flame proofing and sizing to allow for it to stretch out and stay that way? Lengthening the trim chains could supply some temporary relief. but you might have to adjust them later. Losing 1/15 of the height appears peculiar. Could wrinkles account for the apparent shrinkage? Something just doesn't add up here.</div><div>/s/ Richard</div><div>_________</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Apr 1, 2015 at 3:39 PM, Bill Sapsis via Stagecraft <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:stagecraft@theatrical.net" target="_blank">stagecraft@theatrical.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style>Ken. The drop shrunk? How does that happen. The drop has been hanging for 7 years. I’m assuming (yeah, I know) that it had a pipe or chain in the bottom. Unless you’ve been washing it or the theatre has had a flood, I don’t see how the drop could have shrunk. Stretched would be more like it.
