The use of revolves or mawari-butai as its known was generally to have two or more sets ready so a quick transition could be achieved. Rather than using the revolve as a feature for the production. The stage hands would be dressed in black (as they are today) and would be resetting or setting a new scene in the background as the show continued out front. In some ways not a lot has changed.
No steel to be seen its all chunky timber and old construction techniques. Pretty sturdy and made to last.
