Scenic effects involving rotating turntables, tracking stage
wagons, and the vertical movement of curtains and painted drops
have become common in both Broadway and Regional theatre
productions. The machines that drive these effects range from small
pneumatic cylinders pushing loads of a few pounds an inch or two,
to 40 horsepower winches running multi-ton scenery at speeds 6 feet
per second or more. Usually this machinery is designed by theatre
technicians specifically for a particular show's effect. Compared
to general industry, this design process is short, often only a few
days long, it is done by one person, design teams are rare, and it
is done in the absence of reference material specifically
addressing the issues involved. The main goal of this book is to
remedy this last situation. Mechanical Design for the Stage will be
a reference for you that will: * provide the basic engineering
formulas needed to predict the forces, torques, speeds, and power
required by a given move * give a technician a design process to
follow which will direct their work from general concepts to
specific detail as a design evolves, and * show many examples of
traditional stage machinery designs. The book's emphasis will be on
following standard engineering design and construction practices,
and developing machines that are functional, efficient to build,
easily maintained, and safe to use.
