Grid (English)
A loft or skeleton roof over the stage. Here are all the sets of pulleys over which the lines for working the scenes pass on their way to the fly-rail. To ensure that curtains and cloths are level or “on the dead” when lowered, it is necessary to have three blocks and one bend to each cloth suspended: these lines are called “short” (nearest the flies), “long” (for the line on the prompt side), and “centre.” Between each set of three pulleys are thin battens and looked at from the stage they have the appearance of a large gridiron, whence its name.
