<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">On your typical 8 way chain motor controller, you have 2 options for control – The 8 way pendant connected to the controller or a single pickle connected directly to the motor.
Anyone ever seen something in the middle? Specifically talking about motors used for scenery/props storage where it is not convenient to have all the motors on one pendant, or you don’t want a single pendant to be able to control all the motors. So maybe
on an 8 way controller you would have 2 pieces hung on single motors where a pickle would work for each, and 3 pieces hung on 2 motors where you would want a 2 Way pendant for each one. Or perhaps 1 at 4 motors and 2 and 2 motors on the controller. You
get the idea. Multiple motor pendants would still have to have individual control over the motors – not just all motors up or all motors down.<o:p></o:p></p>

show on site. Not necessarily something you can perfectly plan in advance.<o:p></o:p></p>
