For future reference, or time-wasting, the Altman website (http://www.altmanltg.com) has a discontinued prodoucts section. Very interesting.

Not a disclaimer as such, but we've had to start putting things like "PRELIMINARY, DO NOT USE FOR FABRICATION" in very large letters on drawings so when they ARE used for fabrication, we have something to point to and say "Not our fault". It seems the first preliminary drawing gets filed as the one and only true drawing and all later drawings are discarded.

Altman 360's were designed to use 500T12/9 and 750T12/9 lamp bulbs. When the ANSI subcommittee on lamp bulb standardization started developing standards for theatrical lamp bulbs and assigning three-letter codes the "new" quartz versions of such beasties, the "new" versions of the 500T12/9 and 750T12/9 were assigned EGE and EGG respectively. Now, while I have all you youngsters in awe of my antiquity, I'll ask: What was the lamp bulb code for the lamp bulb that was replaced by the BTL? Best regards, Frank E.

I did not find a cut sheet, but in the price book there is a #213-002 Berkey Beam Framing Spotlight, described as weighing 34 lbs and commanding a hefty-for-1973 price tag of $345.00.

And this all assumes A440 concert pitch tuning, of course (in which case E would be about 5.15 Hz, and C would be about 8.176 Hz). -- Jim Hyslop ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20061028052642.8299.qmail [at] web57005.mail.re3.yahoo.com> Date: Fri, 27 Oct 2006 22:26:42 -0700 (PDT) From: Michael Denison Subject: refinishing stage floor The powers that be at my school have refinishing our stage floor on their agenda, probably for next summer. I think they just want to paint it, not rip it up and replace it. Any suggestions or recommendations? It's black linoleum on 3/4 ply on sprung sleepers, about 75 feet by 40 feet, including wing space, 12-15 years old, lots of scuffs and paint marks, edges have to be glued down occasionally. ------------------------------ In-Reply-To: References: Message-Id: <75F30B23-5627-477D-93C7-E058823DA2F7 [at] gmail.com> From: Robert Graham Subject: Re: refinishing stage floor Date: Sat, 28 Oct 2006 02:43:54 -0400 Black linoleum?? I've never heard of linoleum on a deck. Am I nuts, or is this definitely something out of the ordinary? If it were me, I'd want to replace at least the top surface if its in crummy shape. And give a good look at the sleepers, etc. to make sure there aren't any problems. Throwing a coat of paint over it might make it look pretty, but it will still be the same, crappy floor that was there before. (If it was crappy.) There's my .02 worth. -Rob G.
