Question
Answer
wagons   "rolling platform"; framing is the same as platforms (built on edge but with casters)  
🗑
casters   fixed: straight back and forth; swivel: universal, can be steered (but need to break)  
🗑
tracking   positive: built up to wagon/ added to stage floor (wood or angle iron) [drawback: aesthetically unappealing; trip hazard]; negative: use a knife (linear post barring), connected to platform in a track [drawback: damages floors]  
🗑
jack knife wagon   wagon with a fixed pivot point; straight casters are perpendicular to the radius of the fixed pivot point  
🗑
turntables   "revolving wagon"; used when multiple scenery; use straight casters perpendicular to radius no more than 4ft apart; NEVER use swivel casters  
🗑
reverse caster turntable   casters are upside down on floor while platform rotates on top; advantage: quicker and quieter  
🗑
wheel drive   electronic motor with a somewhat deflated tire; drawback: have to run power to motor  
🗑
grip drive   people shift turntable manually; not an actual method  
🗑
cable drive   closed system: one end of aircraft cable is attached to winch drum, then wrapped around turntable twice, and returns to attach other end to winch drum, also.  
🗑
raked stage   a stage on an incline; legs attached to stringers 4' on center horizontally; struts are 2' on center vertically.  
🗑
bridling   used for supporting over-length battens  
🗑
tripping   method for folding scenery when there is a lack of fly space  
🗑
breasting   1) to allow two planes to live/play in the same place; 2) store a plane in a space other than directly above where it plays on stage  
🗑
line shaft system   weighted system (no counterweights, won't move if too heavy); uses a winch drum and needs a reverse break; a motor is attached to control/turn the batten (multiple rates/speeds)  
🗑
roll drop   (type of tripping); used when there isn't enough space to fly something completely out of sight; batten is deadtied and tube rolls up on itself  
🗑
