The line then went back up to a pulley, bolted to the down stage end of the triple e-track, and to the 5K Fresnel. There was another line from the up stage side of the 5K Fresnel going to another pulley, bolted to the up stage end of the triple e-track, and to another pulley that was also coach bolted to the stage.

This provided tension meaning that when Axis 1 was lowered in the 5K Fresnel would track up stage and when Axis 1 was taken out the 5K Fresnel would track down stage.

Technical Stage Management

There was a 5K Fresnel suspended behind the stage right flat. This sat at 6.5 meters high and was 7 meters in length. This was made up of 7 meters of truss (two 3 meter lengths and a 1 meter length) with 7 meters of triple e-track attached to the underside with doughty clamps. The 5K Fresnel was able to track along the triple e-track. This was suspended on two automated lines (Axis 2, down stage, and Axis 4, up stage) from the grid meaning that the trim height could be easily adjusted. There was a third automation line (Axis 1) controlling the horizontal position of the 5K Fresnel along the e-track. This third line went from the grid to a pulley coach bolted to the ground, down stage of the truss. The line then went back up to a pulley, bolted to the down stage end of the triple e-track, and to the 5K Fresnel. There was another line from the up stage side of the 5K Fresnel going to another pulley, bolted to the up stage end of the triple e-track, and to another pulley that was also coach bolted to the stage. This line then went up to an empty counterweight bar (Bar 26), which had 2 flyweights in the cradle (totaling 24kg). This provided tension meaning that when Axis 1 was lowered in the 5K Fresnel would track up stage and when Axis 1 was taken out the 5K Fresnel would track down stage.
