Abstract: A system and/or method for recognizing a theatre donation by placing a notice on a locking rail sub-system in a theatre. This system and/or method is believed to be rather counterintuitive because the locking rail is generally a low visibility part of the theatre, where the general public does not traditionally go. Despite this low visibility, the present invention is believed to foster a surprisingly large amount of goodwill, the relatively low visibility of the locking rail assembly notwithstanding. Also, because the locking rail is such a critical piece of equipment for safety purposes, the present invention recognizes that the good associations with donors and/or donations will tend to be subtly and psychologically enhanced by the fact that the donation related information is placed on the locking rail assembly.

Abstract: A theatrical lift including a timer and an indicator light. The light indicates a need for maintenance after a predetermined amount of time passes as measured by the timer. Also, a lift, such as a theatrical lift, including an indicator, a reset switch and an indicator housing. The indicator is located on the indicator housing. The reset switch is located inside of the indicator housing. The indicator housing can be opened or partially opened to allow selective access to the reset switch. In this way, the reset switch can be easily reset by a lift maintenance technician as part of performing routine maintenance on the lift, but will not be easily reset by a lift operator as a casual matter.
