Complete Specification Left, 27th Feb., 1897-Accepted, 17th Apr., 1897
I, HARRY HAYWARD, of High Street, Saxmundham, in the County of Suffolk,
Plumber and Building Contractor, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
My invention embraces a system of glazing, having for its object simplicity
combined with durability.
With this object I groove the parts to which the edges of glass are to be secured,
and in these grooves secure strips of sheet lead, so that their edges project sufficiently
to permit of them being bent over the edges of the glass when the latter is placed
in position.
These strips of sheet lead may be single or double as required, whilst the parts
to which they are secured may be grooved or channelled so that any moisture
passing between the lead and the glass may be intercepted thereby, and carried to
a point at which it may escape.

I, HARRY HAYWARD, of High Street, Saxmundham, in the County of Suffolk,
Plumber and Building Contractor, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My invention embraces a system of glazing having for its object simplicity
combined with durability.
With this object 1 groove the parts to which the edges of glass are to be
secured, and in these grooves secure strips of sheet lead, so that their edges project
sufficiently to permit of their being bent over the edges of the glass when the
latter is placed in position.
These strips of sheet lead may be single or double as required, whilst the parts
to which they are secured may be grooved or channelled so that any moisture
passing between the lead and the glass may be intercepted thereby, and carried to
a point at which it may escape.
In order that my invention may be more easily understood and carried into effect
I will now describe it in connection with the accompanying sheet of drawings.
The same letters represent like parts in all the figures.
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a portion of framing a showing the strip of sheet
lead b in position to receive the sheet of glass.

page_text: Figs. 2, 3, 4, and 5 are cross sections of portions of framing a. Figs. 2 and 3
representing a double and single strip of sheet lend 6 respectively, in position to
receive the edges of the sheet of glass, and Figs. 4 and 5 being similar views
but with the edges of the sheets of glass d fixed in position by having the free ends
of the strips of sheet lead 6 bent over upon them, and c are the grooves or channels
formed in the framing for the purpose of intercepting and carrying off any moisture
that may pass in between the lead and the glass.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
The system of glazing consisting of the insertion in suitable grooves of strips of
sheet lead, said strips being bent over upon the edges of the sheets of glass to
retain the latter in position, together with the grooves or channels for carrying off
moisture substantially as described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
