otherwise, is to vitiate the energies and the forward
thrust that USITT has made during its existence. In
the name of the Beverly Hills Supper Club Fire and its
dreadful losses, human and economic, and those which
occur daily, and those waiting to occur, I ask you and
your associates and friends, to move and promulgate,
,personally and professionally, the actual movement of
USITT in the area of Entertainment Health and Safety. *

will have to be altered as needed for use with casters or
framing members of other sites.
While the more traditional methods of attaching casters to wagons and turntables serve admirably under
normal circumstances, such methods do not have the

flexibility required for easy and rapid shifting from one
unit to another. Not only does the adjustable caster base
serve as a method of switching casters quickly, but it may
be installed semi-permanently, if so desired, as shown in
Figure 4.
In practice, use of the adjustable caster bases has
permitted the fullest possible use of a limited number of
casters. The casters can be quickly and easily switched
from one scenic unit to another regardless of angles between framing members. Ridgity and strength of the adjustable caster bases are greater than that of most woodframed wagons with conventional caster attachments.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the adjustable caster base is inexpensive, and the minimal cost may be
amortized over a period of many years.
