The large, heavy sash, which holds the four thick-nesses of glass, is beveled on the sides and on top to corre-spond with the bevel on the frame. The sash should bemade, with two seals of contact with the frame when thewindow is closed, and the contact points covered with flex-ible rubber or felt packing, which is nailed to the sash.

Two hinges are insufficient unless apatented spring hinge is used. 232 COLD STORAGE WINDOWS Fasteners should be put on at the top and bottom oithe sash, when it is over four feet high.
