Re: Rules on metal casters
FIRST finally answered the question. Here is their response;
Q: <R27> states "Traction devices may not have surface features such as metal" We would like to use a roller ball castor with a metal ball and do not consider this a traction device since it is a castor, may we use such a device?
A: Yes. We define / clarify traction devices as those which provide a driving force or restraining force. The intent of this rule is to attempt to avoid carpet damage. The metal castor ball would not be considered a traction device and would be allowed.
