The Neil Smith, Single Winch, Dual Lift Ladder Divert System™
Dick McWhittington as with most RCS Pantos had a large number of trucks which needed to enter the scene dock. As such we needed to automate two of the SL Ladders. However, there were only two points available due to the other two being used to fly performers. Single Point lift to a bridle was considered but raised concerns over the twisting of the ladder.
And so, from the depths of the fiery elven forges, there came:
THE NEIL SMITH SINGLE WINCH DUAL LIFT LADDER DIVERT SYSTEM
The NSSWDLLDS came onto the stage at a time where the world was dark, and full of terror. Twirling ladders seemed inevitable, and all hope was lost. But 'lo, there cometh an answer.
By taking an automation line from the grid, and diverting it back up to a fixed point, the terror of the stage vanished and light shone upon the world once more. Using two of the old 3d flying pulleys, left by the great elder wizards known as Stage tech, they were bonded with bolts of power upon a bar made of dwarf forged steel. From this bar of justice, the great warriors could attach the ladder, and weild the power to defeat darkness. The devices of illumination ascended unto the heavens with the grace of a summer flower; drifting upon a melancholy wind, with not even a hint of swing.
