and how do you know when the tension is correct? When no more olive oil comes out of the ropes.

What was olive oil doing in the ropes? Was it used as a conditioner? Tension indicator? Both?

 

I love these things :(

 

conditioner-the torsion units were slotted in like casettes after being kept in oil.

oh I see. I thought they were permenantly in there. Did they change them after every shot?

 

no , thats not necessary, I will ask what the life of a torsion unit is expected to be , in terms of 1.continuous action 2. total life to destruction
