page_text: the date of the said Letters Patent immediately ensuing, and fully to be com-
plete and ended, and in the said Letters Patent is contained a proviso for

cause the same to be inrolled in the High Court of Chancery within one
calendar month next and immediately after the date of the said Letters
Patent.
NOW THESE PRESENTS WITNESS, that in compliance with the said
proviso, the said John Bevans hath made a Diawing or Plan, and which is
hereunto annexed, whereby he hath accurately described, represented, and
ascertained the nature and form of his said Invention; and in the said Drawing
or Plan the parts thereof marked with the letters A, A represent the section
of the pulley-piece, the letters B, B, in the said Plan represent the section of
the facings to the pulley-piece A, A, below the meeting rails of the sashes, the
letters C, C, shew the section of the facings to the pulley-piece A, A, above
the meeting rails of the sashes; letters D, D, D, D, shew the situation of the
lines; the letters E, E, represent the elevation of the facings B, B, below the
meeting rails of the sashes; the letters F, F, shew the elevations of the facings
C, C, above the meeting rails of the sashes; the letters 0, 0, are tongues
in the stiles of the sashes, which run in the grooves of the facings opposite to
them; the letters G, G, represent the section of the pulley-picce; the letters
H, H, shew a section of the facings of the pulley-piece G, G, below the
meeting rails of the sashes; the letters I, I, are a section of the facings of the
pulley-piece G, G, above the meeting rails of the sashes, the letters L, L, L, L,
shew the situation of the lines; the letters K, K, K, K, shew the spaces
between the front of the pulley-pieces and the back of the facings, containing
metal or wood springs, or other elastic matter, as correctors, which force
the facings against the edge of the sashes, cause them to run casy, and
keep them tight and close. This elastic principle may be applied behind the
facings B, B, and C, C, or any kind of facings that may be used, the
facings to be rebated, screwed, or nailed to the pulley-peicos, but iebating
is best; they may be put up the whole length, but to cut them one-eighth
pait of an inch below the top of the meeting rails of the sashes is most
convenient; they may be thicker or thinner than those described in the s
different sections. The letters M, M, represent the elevation of the facings
II, II, below the meeting rails of the sashes; the letters N, N, shew the
elevation of the facings I, I, above the meeting rails of the sashes; the letter

page_text: P is a section of the pulley-peice, which has two tubes 9, 9, of metal or wood,
fastened on to the pulley-peice P, and reaching from the head of the sash
frame to one-eighth pait of an inch below the top of the meeting rails
of the sashes; the letters R, R, shew the situation of the lines; the
letters T, T, shew the elevation of the pulley-piece below the meeting 1ails
of the sashes, the letters V, V, on the elevation of the pulley-piece and tubes
above the meeting rails of the sashes; the letters U, U, represent sections of
the pulley, which may be of wood or metal, and either boxed in wood or metal,
or to run in the pulley-piece, the letters W, W, shew the line on the pulley,
one end of it suspending the weight and the other suspending the sash, the
said line going over a projecting piece of wood or metal at the letters X, X,
(which keeps the line strait), let into the under side of the meeting rail
of the top sash & the bottom rail of the bottom sash, and fastened with
a knot in the hole y; the letter Z represents a peice of wood, or a metal
plate, let into and screwed to the under side of the meeting rails of the
top sash and bottom rail of the bottom sash, covering the line and knot
hole; the letter A shews a section of metal springs, about half an inch
wide, which may be screwed to the pulley-piece near the head and cill and
meeting rails, which will force the facings against the sashes and keep them
tight and close; if the frames should be high, more springs should be used;
any elastic matter, as cloth, baize, or flannel will assist to keep the sashes
tight. The foregoing principles and methods are applicable to the altering or
correcting defects in frames and sashes already made. The facings for the top
sash may be fastened to the outside linings by pins in the outside edge instead
of grooving the linings. The h represents a section of a fir cill cased with oak.
And the said John Bevans doth hereby declare that the said Drawing or Plan
hereunto annexed, together with the above-written explanation thereof, do
contain an accurate description or Specification of his said new invented
window frames and sashes
In witness whereof, the said John Bevans hath hereunto set his hand
