What is the pulley mounted in the fly loft used to redirect rigging lines to different points in the system?

• A. Head block
• B. Main line
• C. Loft block
• D. Arbor

Answer: (C)

Loft blocks are the pulleys installed up in the fly loft that redirect rigging lines to different points in the system. By guiding the lines through multiple blocks and across to various battens or sections, they let one operating line reach many destinations without routing across the stage itself. This placement and function—changing the direction of lines within the fly space—make loft blocks the correct term for a pulley mounted in the fly loft used to redirect rigging lines. For contrast, the head block sits at the top of the stage grid where lines begin their journey toward the fly loft, the arbor is the counterweight assembly that moves up and down, and the main line is the rope that runs through the system.
