Succinct and jargon free, Stage Rigging Handbook remains the only book in any language that covers the design, operation, and maintenance of stage rigging equipment. It is written in an at-a-glance outline form, yet contains in-depth information available nowhere else. This second edition includes two new parts: the first, and expanded discussion of the forces and loads on stage rigging components and the structure supporting them; the second, an examination of block and tackle rigging. The remaining four parts contain numerous revisions. Explaining his purpose, Jay O. Glerum points out that four main principles make up the core of this book: know the rigging system; know that it is in safe working order; know how to use it; keep your concentration. Glerum applies these principles to all of the major types of stage rigging systems, including block and tackle, hemp, counterweight, and motorized. He describes each type of rigging, then thoroughly reviews the operating procedures and ways of inspecting existing systems.

Because no handbook for the safe use and care of stage rigging exists, knowledge of that craft often has been passed on by word of mouth. Some of this information has been misleading, some even false. Glerum corrects many misconceptions that have infiltrated the oral tradition, providing sound and safe techniques for doing stage rigging and in the process producing a scholarly work that is also a much-needed practical reference. More than 100 excellent drawings and photographs supplement the text. Glerum divides his book into four parts, each of which includes system descriptions, component descriptions, maintenance instructions, operation instructions, and safety inspection procedures. Part 1 on hemp rigging describes single- and multiple-line systems. Part 2 is the counterweight section, and part 3 covers motorized rigging. Part 4 is devoted to specialized problems and their practical solutions.
