Given the wide variety of instrument hanging hardware, this is the best all around practice I can think of. Many of the "new" aluminum clamps do not have the pan setscrew at all. >I like to attach the safety cable to the instrument, >not the U piece holding the instrument. Some years ago, an architectural fixture came loose and fell (maintenance department's responsibility, not stage techs) and this resulted in a Risk Management edict to put safety cables on EVERYTHING. We had to run an aircraft cable through EVERY part of a fixture that could possibly be detached from the fixture. The yoke, the body, the lamp housing, the lens train, gel frame, gobo holder, and any other accessory, all had to be captive. This makes focusing, lamp changes and general maintenance a real hassle. Fortunately, the industry has become better at manufacturing fixtures with captive components and it is less of an issue for us now.

An unmentioned advantage to soft covered flats is that they also work as rear projection surfaces with the right fabric and color treatment (thick paint on canvas won't exactly work for that). And, for those neanderthals or neanderthals-in-training such as myself who delight in these things, we're lashing them together, too. Obsolete one might say, but in our scene changes no ladders are used to separate and strike flats up to 15' tall. LP hinges don't do that too well. Also, as someone else mentioned, we swap out the bitty pan bolts for t-handles (Colortran or other) as standard practice. You can also purchase loose t-handles for the bolt that attaches the c-clamp to the pipe, for toolless hang and focus without buying all new clamps; we don't go that far. If neither are an option, I like a speed wrench (ratcheting box end wrench for those looking through catalogs, and mine is from Sears) with a 5/8" and 3/4" end - one end works for the c-clamp, the other for the yoke bolt. There are also a lot of wrenches like these made specifically for lighting focus. Tools for Stagecraft, Production Advantage and Sapsis are just a few suppliers, and they'd all love your business. - Jim Dougherty ATD, Middlebury College Theatre Dept. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Nov 2004 09:09:59 -0500 Subject: Words of Wisdom From: Heather Carter Message-Id: Thanks for the words of wisdom for appropriate terminology for the f-nut.

When that bolt pushes the barrel of the C-clamp to the side/front/whereever it disrupts the focus. And if there are a significant number of scars on the barrel, the pan bolt will often move the barrel until it fits into the nearest scar. Loosening the yoke bolt ever so slightly will allow you to pan the fixture without interfering with the tilt. And since most yoke bolts are 1" long, you have to really try to loosen it enough to have it fall out. Just my $.02. Steve L. -- Stephen C.

Loosening the horizontal bolt should not allow the yoke and instrument to fall. Loosening the larger bolt to the point that is falls away from the C-clamp will allow the yoke and instrument to fall. The safety cable should either go through the yoke or be attached directly to the instrument and then around the batten. I always instructed my university students and now whomever is working lights with me to only loosen the horizontal pan bolt. Some newer C-clamps do not have the horizontal bolt only the vertical bolt which attaches the yoke to the C-clamp. With these clamps, you should always have the safety cable properly fastened before loosening this bolt. Frankly, call it what you will. Just use them safely.

The only situations that this can be a problem is when it the unit is not directly underhung, the unit is in danger of being bumped, or things have loosened up. I did spend a week replacing all of the nylon washers and nylon lock nut (Nylox?) on the Sure-clamps after 10+ years of service. I agree that the pan bolt effects focus too often. I never did give it a thought about the teaching aspect of wrenches. We do have a lot of situations though were the students still need a tethered wrench. The only other difficulty I found with a wrenchless hang is once everything was struck the crew didn't have wrenches for the incoming road show light plot. :-) Greg Bierly Technical Director Hempfield HS ------------------------------ From: "Dr. Randall W.A.
