This footlight has compartments spaced at 9-inch centres and gives more light from fewer lamps than the old 6,7 and 8-inch centre types which it supersedes. The "Sunray" silvered-glass reflectors give wide-angle beams free of hot spots, and light well up the house tabs, even when placed as close as 3 feet.
SPECIFICATION
Housing
is strongly constructed in sheet steel, efficiently ventilated, with pressed
steel compartment divisions welded in place at 9-inch centres, and the whole
is finished in black crystalline outside and matt black inside. Each compartment
is fitted with a metal frame with guard wires to take the colour medium and
a type A235 "Sunray" glass reflector mounted in a spring-steel spider and Edison
Screw lampholder. Footlight is manufactured in 3-foot and 6-foot lengths and
multiples thereof.
Wiring, which is housed in a sheet-metal trough with removable lid, is carried out in fireproof cable for colours and circuits to suit requirements, and is terminated in tails, or in certain circumstances a connector box (extra) on actors' right or left as required.
Fixing.
Rests flat on the floor of the footlight trough, for dimensions of which see
diagram. For preference electrical connections should be made through flexible
metallic tubing to permit easy removal for cleaning, access to wiring, etc.
