Talk:Beach Ballroom

Floor construction
Something for the eventually expanded article to resolve. Article now reads in part:
 * "It is home to one of Scotland's finest dance floors - famous for its bounce - which floats on fixed steel springs."

However, Alistair Urquhart, in 'The Forgotten Highlander' (p 24), wrote of:
 * ". . . my favourite venue was the Beach Ballroom on the promenade. . . . the floor was sprung on chains. You could dance all night and not get tired. . . ."

I have no idea which is correct (perhaps both over time) nor of how a chain sprung floor was constructed. I've commented on this also at the Wikipedia article, 'Sprung Floor', http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprung_floor, and quote another reference about floors 'sprung on chains' in an 1870s structure in Australia.
