1. A non-friction telescopic seating system, comprising seats disposed on a frame, which is operably connected to a motor system;a plurality of interconnected drive carriages adapted for connection to a telescopic seating system to extend and retract the telescopic seating system, said drive carriages being configured to selectively mateably wind onto and off from a drum as said drum is rotated; a motor system comprising: a non-vertically moving drum operably anchored to a drum frame wherein said drum has at least two drum shafts rotatably engaged to said drum; a direct drive power system operably attached to said drum frame further having a motor attached to a motor frame, at least two motor shafts extending from each side of said motor, and a drive shaft operably connected to said motor shafts; and a plurality of coupling means for coupling said drive shaft with one of said at least two drum shafts and one of said at least two motor shafts thereby enabling said motor to rotate said drum and thereby extend and retract drive carriages which move said seats, and wherein said motor and drum engage said drive carriages so that said drive carriage move in substantially continuously tangentially alignment as said drive carriages are selectively retracted and extended by said drum.
