Then take header—see Fig. lo—which has a groove for the top eilge of the glass, cut these in to fit nicely between each two long bars, cut the short ones oft" all on a line so that they nail squarely on the Leaders, which should be placed to allow fully one inch to be below the bottom of the sash when it is fitted up in its place. If the sash is 3 feet deep, which is about the right size, the header should be fitted for the bottom edge on glass line to be 3 feet from the ridge p. plate, this allows for bevelling of '^ the sash on top to fit plate and then set slightly more than one inch up on the header; this allows also for the hinges to screw tight down on to the same and on to bottom edge of sash; but to avoid making any mistake it is be stto fit a sash up in its place and then mark the place for the header. In putting the sash on I very much prefer to hang them at the bottom and open at the top, it is also very important to use either brass butts or galvanized iron y- ^^ ones with brass pins; I prefer the latter and use altogether what is called a 2' -^ wrought butt, galvanized as above noted. I use three of these to each of the sash, which are between 6 and 7 feet long, according to width of glass used. If preferred an angle iron purlin can be used instead of wood, but it costs more. If such is to be used then a cor- rect calculation must be made so that a hole for a screw can be made to fasten each bar iu its place; this must be done at the fac- tory else the expense would be very heavy, and if it is decided to use this kind of a purlin arrangements should be made whereby the column can be fas- Fig. tened to it at intervals of from S to 10 feet apart, otherwise the roof will soon get out of shap
