SETBG GLASS WrTaour Perry
Tbe methoh Of Sd tting glass without
putty, RECENTLY i Invented, is the fol-
lowing:
The win loF saS h is made entirely
of wood the outside permanent. =
ThH inside is framed in such a man
nel that tile parts can be rd adj y re-
moFed for th4 purpose Of inseF Fling
the glass, Which is placed between
slirI of Ildi4 rubber, which, when
the parts Of the sash are replaced,
eau es the sash to be perfectly firm.
The moyeabld parts Of the sash are
secured to their place by d knob
scr%w, which make 5 a pretty finish.
The advantages Of this method Of
resulting glass must be obvious upon
IA moment reflection.
