SECTION TWO
CURTAIN TRACKS
Flints supply a wide range of tracks ideally suited for
use in the entertainments industry.
Tab Track Terminology
At first glance a tab track may appear complicated but all the components
from each manufacturer have basically the same functions. We
have described them below to help you choose but if you prefer just
phone us and we will calculate your component needs.
Bobbins or Runners These run along the track normally on small
wheels and carry the drapes. Generally they are spaced at around 250-
300mm apart.
Rearfold Runners Runners with an attachment that grips the control
line [until offstage] to enable a cloth to move off stage without gathering
from the leading edge. Only normally used with painted cloths.
Master Runners The master runner is the lead runner. It will normally
have a clamping plate to grip the control cord. For a centre
opening track you will need two master runners. Clamp the handline to
one runner, then thread it around the return pulley at the end of the
track and clamp the returning part of the cord to the other master runner.
Even if the drapes are just to be pulled along it is wise to have a
master runner at the leading edges as this runner will take a greater
strain than ordinary bobbins.
Overlap Arms Some master runners will take an overlap arm
which allows centre opening drapes to overlap. The alternative is to
overlap the tracks but to do this you will need overlap clips plus offset
plates to ensure the hook clamps align with the flying bar.
Head Pulley This double sheave vertical pulley bolts to the operator
end of the track. Sometimes two designs are available, one for
overlap tracks and one for single tracks.
Return Pulley Horizontal pulley bolted to the far end of the track.
Floor Pulley These pulleys are fixed to the floor and the sheave
can be adjusted to put tension in the cord. If your track needs to fly
out then choose a foot stirrup pulley or a weighted pulley. If you
choose a weighted pulley ensure that you use a polyester handline and
that regular checks are made to guard against chafe.
Handline Tracks take 6 or 8mm diameter handlines. Nowadays most
people choose matt black polyester line rather than jute sash. If you
are using a weighted pulley do not use jute sash. For the track to operate
the line needs to be tied [or clamped] to form a loop. The best
place to do this is just behind a master carrier rope clamp as this position
never has to pass through a pulley.
How to Cord Up a Tab Track
Ideally position the assembled track at a comfortable working height.
The cording principle is based on a long loop of cord, the loop being
formed by clamping both the ends onto the “Cord End Master Carrier”.
If the track is centre opening then the other “slave” master carrier
will also be clamped to the returning cord. To cord a typical centre
opening track, position the master carriers in the “Tabs Closed” position
[centre stage]. Loosely tie or clamp one end of the cord onto the
“Cord End Master Carrier” and thread the cord around the horizontal
return pulley then back along the track passing through the rope
clamp on the “slave master carrier”. Loosely tighten the clamp plate
and continue with the cord to the header pulley. Take it over the header
pulley, around the foot stirrup or floor mounted pulley and back
over the other sheave on the header pulley and finally back to the
“Cord End Master Carrier”. Ensure you have the correct drop for the
floor mounted pulley and then loosely clamp the rope in place. Don’t
chop off the excess just yet! Take the track to its operational position.
Try the track to ensure it is corded correctly then tighten the rope
clamps and cut off the excess cord. [Based loosely on an extract from
the Unitrack Manual].
LIGHTWEIGHT TRACKS

Unitab System This smart black
extruded aluminium track is designed to
be the equivalent of a heavy duty
domestic track but with the reliability,
performance and ease of installation
that is expected of Triple E products.
Recommended for small venues, pubs
and clubs. Note the excellent SWL of the
runners which should exceed virtually
every requirement. This track is not sold as a corded system so the
curtains are pulled manually. [However the master carrier is fitted with a cord
clamp so the ingenious among you could purchase some 4mm cord and some size 1
yacht blocks and make a serviceable system - see below]. The track is generally
screwed to a timber batten and it has a clever vee groove in the
top flanges to neatly position your drill bit making the task quick
and easy. Choose your type of screw carefully as there isn’t an
abundance of clearance between the bobbins and the underside of
the flange. Curved tracks can be made to order down to a radius of
500mm. Transport costs on curved tracks need to be individually
quoted.

Unitab
Although Unitab is
not supplied as a corded system it is easy to
adapt by using a Barton Cheek block as the
return pulley [BARCH2] and a double Barton
upright block [BAR01250] as the header
pulley [see page 2.41]. A Barton single pulley lashed to a screw eye
can substitute as an economical adjustable floor pulley.
Flints can provide advice and competitive
quotations for supplying drapes as well! We
can also quote for installing and maintaining
tracks in the London area.

good looks
2way This new track from Triple E is similar in design to their
3way track [see page 2.51]. Designed for lightweight curtains it can
be used instead of domestic tracking to provide the kind of reliable
service expected from Triple E products. The track is available in
lengths up to 6.1m [20ft] and can be provided pre-rolled for curved
installations. The track is quickly joined with a steel plate and grub
screws locating in the top slot while two roll pins provide alignment
of the running surfaces. 2way has a continuous suspension slot
along the top to take Triple E fittings, or it can be screwed directly
to a soffit by using ceiling clips. The runners are designed to take
ties or Twin Hooks but Steel Wire Hooks are also available for use
with rufflette tapes. This track is not available as a corded version.

MEDIUM DUTY TRACKS
Halls T60 Anglia
Track Designed to meet
the requirements of most
small and medium sized
stages and television and
video facilities with cycloramas.
Curtains can be
hand pulled, electrically or
hand winched or just
walked along. The maximum recommended length for a single wipe
track is 9m or 18m for an overlapped track. Single tracks can be easily
suspended from bars by using the T60 universal fittings bolted to Hook
Clamps [see page 3.58]. Overlap tracks should use the “Z” brackets to
centre the track on the bar. The tracks can be supplied in 45 degree and
90 degree curved sections. Please phone for a complete list of components
and prices.
4 Often installed in school stages. 4 Old design so tried and tested.

Erail Erail is a significantly improved version of the previous
Unirail system. The track is a tough one piece black aluminium
extrusion available in lengths up to 3m [9ft]. Joins are made with
a steel plate and grub screw in the top slot with a single roll pin in
the base to ensure smooth running surfaces. The track can be
rolled down to a 500mm radius. Erail can be mounted by means
of special 8mm channel nuts in the top slot allowing easy connection
to a hook clamp or 8mm studding. Low friction ball
raced nylon runners ensure easy handling of the drapes.
Centre opening drapes can be overlapped by using overlap
arms on the master carriers. The track can also be corded for
manual use or, by using the Tracdrive in place of the floor pulley, it
can be motorised. 4 Virtually silent operation 4 Ideal for small
stages such as on cruise ships, conference centres, hotels and
school halls 4 Can be ordered to special radiuses with fast delivery
times 4 Sleek modern appearance 4 Lower profile than most
tracks 4 Economically priced 8 Suitable for all but the very heaviest
of stage curtains 8 No scenery carriers or rearfold runners
available 8 Care should be taken when touring to protect long
lengths from bending and edge damage.

Doughty Six Track
This track has been developed as competition to the Halls T60
track. It is remarkably similar but Six Track has a couple of clever
features which should prove popular. The barrel brackets allow
overlap tracks to hang centrally on the flying bar, and a bolt-on
end plate enables the track to be cut to exact lengths without
the need for onsite welding. [although Halls now make one of
these as well, oh the joys of competition!].

4 Versatile modular system. 8 A bit fiddly for tours.

Triple E 3Way
Track This track is aimed
at venues with restricted
budgets but with a requirement
for a robust medium
duty track which is simple
to install and operate. The
economical pricing of the
track has been achieved by
reducing the number of components needed. The rope is guided within
the track which measures 68x44mm. On curved tracks this is a
huge advantage as all the guide pulleys have been eliminated. The
top channel in the track accepts standard Unistrut channel nuts,
while the side channels take the joint bars and are used for fixing the
head and return pulleys. Support the track at least every 3m plus
additional support in the stacking area. Available in aluminium or
black anodised.

system, used widely for theatres,
exhibitions, trade shows and rock
and roll tours. Modular sections
are available in standard lengths
of 2m, 1m, 500mm and 250mm. The design is such that the track
sections stack neatly on trucks or in storage making this system the
preferred choice for tours. Special curved sections are available to
order and there are at least 16 ways of cording the track, with the
option to add drive motors. A range of suspension fittings is available.
Runners should generally be spaced at 300mm intervals.
Standard and curved runners have Safe Working Load of 25kg, whilst
master runners and scenery carriers have a SWL of 50kg. Heavy Duty
Carriers have a SWL of 100kg.
4 Industry favourite. 4 Well proven.

Handlines Choose the black polyester cord handline for all
normal use. It is a very high quality reliable handline. If you are
using scenery carriers under heavy load on long tracks it can be
advantageous to choose a rope with virtually no stretch. Flints
stock a Dyneema rope with a matt black polyester cover which is
indistinguishable from the polyester rope except its working
stretch is less than 1.5%. The Dyneema Pro is the best choice
under very heavy loads because it does not have a polyester cover
and the master carrier clamps directly to the line. The working
stretch on this line is below 1.3% [Breaking load 5000kg!]

to opera to theatre. With its symmetrical I beam shape and
solid construction, Unibeam is a complete system which accepts an
extensive range of accessories. Capable of large spans between
two suspension points, Unibeam makes an extremely accommodating
fly bar and also lends itself to large curved systems, particulary
cycloramas.
4 Same profile as Unitrack so many of the accessories are interchangable.
4 The continuous slot along the top and bottom will take standard
Unistrut fittings.
4 Uniring accessory locks to the channel with a quick 90° twist
and allows drapes to be quickly attached to the underside of the
beam.
4 Takes Unitracks special Heavy Duty Scenery Carriers allowing
safe working loads of up to 440kg.

Track Spares Flints have
a wide experience of tab tracks
based on thirty years of
theatre work. We can normally
recognise a component from a
digital photo or sketch. Even
very old components can nor-
mally be supplied. If you have a troublesome track and you are based
within reasonable travelling distance from central London we can visit
your stage and either effect immediate repairs or suggest a course of
action. Below we have listed some of the common components and spares
that we can supply.
