Description

Understanding and designing stage machinery is crucial for creating effective scenic effects in theatre productions. This book provides a comprehensive guide to help technicians predict forces, torques, speeds, and power required by various moves, as well as follow standard engineering design and construction practices.

The book's focus is on developing machines that are functional, efficient to build, easily maintained, and safe to use. It covers traditional stage machinery designs and offers a step-by-step design process for technicians to follow, from general concepts to specific detail as the design evolves.
