LADD AND WM, PYNCH EON INVENTORS OF NEW “ELECTRIC FLYMAN,.” WILLIAM PYNCHEON | Two Seattle men have {nvented a} device which will do away with the work of many men now employed on the stages of thea tres. This o p¥ice is called the electric flyman, and will be to th theatrical men what the linotype ta to the newspaper offices. Qne ma-| chine will do the work of five men. }do it thoroughly and at a cost of about one-hundredth of what the man could do it for. W. W. Ladd and William Pynch-| eon, two well known stage eom-/ | ploy’ #, have invented the machine, | tand for several days it has been tn-/ spected by the local theatrical men | and several outoftown managers, who have watched its work on the stage of the Star theatre. The de {vice ie constructed of tron, fs 6) inches wide, 24 inches long and 90) inches high. Within the frame are |several levers, a large wheel, bal- ance weights, and it is operated {by a small dynamo. This machine} }will lower drops, automatically | jatopping when the drop has been | taised or when it has been lowered! |to the stage. Several of these ma lobines placed on any stage, and! controlled by one man, can handle any number of drops In ES ss i JAM that i }for the lever to be ied ot ine jdrop ascends or descends. olf | adjusting appliances do the rest | In the average theatre from five to ten men are employed in the} fy galleries, These men lower the! borders and the drops. With the} }new machine, which can be placed) against any wall, and which takes) up very little room, one man on the | floor of the stage does the work of | the five or ten in the gallery. | Take, for instance, with the pro- duction of Ben-Hur, 16 to 20 men} are employed raising and lowering | }the Immense drope. With several of the machines one man can hao dle the work easily. | | Mr. Ladd and Mr. Pyncheon have} apptied for the patent, and several capitalists have signified thelr in tention to take hold and help them in manofacturing the machines, jmaking the supply center in | tle, and tu time giving employment to hundreds of mechanics. i Just as soon as the patent ts granted Mr. Ladd or Mr. Pyncheon will take the model and travel through the country demonstrating T+ (ee ) ok ay ‘ ‘.
