<div dir="ltr">On a tangent to this discussion, I am currently in need of locking out a rail which does not have lockout rings on the rope lock hardware. <div><br></div><div>In the old days, we used to use a shoulder eye as one of the bolts holding the lock to the rail and then lock the handle through that. I've seen the handle literally locked to the rope in a couple of places. I've also seen the handle retaining ring locked to the rail with cable. Are there any other methods or purpose built hardware that people have in their arsenal from the last 20 years or so? Ideally, methods which can be done per lineset are preferred.<div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-size:12.8px"><div style="font-size:12.8px"><div style="font-size:12.8px"><div style="font-size:12.8px"><div style="font-size:12.8px"><b>Tim Catlett</b></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><b>Lizard's Dream Theatrical, LLC</b></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><div>Theatrical Consultant, Production Manager, & Technical Director</div><div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-size:12.8px"><div>Mobile: 414.975.4424</div><div><a href="mailto:tmcatlett@gmail.com" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">tmcatlett@gmail.com</a></div><div><img src="https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1vw9543ZGOOBjLS_l5h677fdl_34zJsLc&revid=0B7JIdxV8vFlANGFqYUVWZWsxbjRNdmtwSHFtNlh0dENVOE0wPQ" width="200" height="35"></div><div><img src="https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1W_V6zm2OWvPA7O0qw1XPzsfTJ1wBLreZ&revid=0B7JIdxV8vFlANWZHVmgrY2tMV1pKSWVBamlINFJ3YVF0TzZJPQ" width="200" height="52"></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Sep 22, 2021 at 9:48 AM Matthew Breton via Stagecraft <<a href="mailto:stagecraft@theatrical.net">stagecraft@theatrical.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<p>Hi everyone</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Recently my worksite has been given managerial control over a 100 year old (renovated 10 years ago) small proscenium house. It’s got 38 fly lines on 8” centres. Single purchase.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Part of my to do list is to create the paperwork around the safe operation and training of staff and university students.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Rather than start from scratch (I last ran flies 20 years ago before this job), I’m hoping to get some documents I can crib from. The University has its own template files, I’m looking for sources of the language, risk matrix, things
to include etc.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you have any documents for a fly system titled the following, would you be willing to share?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Safe Work Procedures</p>
<p>Standard Operating Procedures</p>
<p>Policy and Procedures</p>
<p>Operator Rules</p>
<p>Training documents</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks very much.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>PS: what’s preferred for out of balance lineset while loading for tall set pieces or soft goods: snub line, twists, or Uncle Benny? I think I know the Hive’s answer, but just to confirm….</p>
<p>Options 2 and 3 put too much wrong tension on the floating kick block, yes??</p>
<p> </p>
