Fourth, forthe purpose of providing natural light. Windows should be located a^t the ends of truckingalleys, so that they can be opened without having to shiftany of the commodities in storage. When they are openedfor ventilation the air should be circulated by a portablefan, placed near the window. This greatly increases thecirculation, and also overcomes the objection often ex-pressed that windows will not ventilate sufficiently to beof any practical value. 230 COLD STORAGE WINDOWS Types of Windows The usual type of window in cold storage buildings ismade stationary and used only for the purpose of admittingnatural light to the rooms. When both light and ventilationis desired, the windows must be made to open, and a hingedstyle is then used. The essential requirements of bothtypes are that the joints be made tight and that there besufficient glass with sealed air-spaces between to effectivelyreduce the transmission of heat through the FIG. 135—DETAIL OF FIXED COLD STORAGE WINDOW. When close attention is paid to the construction of thewindows, and the insulation is carefully fitted all aroundthe frames a satisfactory job can be made in cold storagework. Windows in freezing rooms, however, should not beinstalled unless they are sealed on the inside with aninsulated door-plug. The efficiency of the window, from a cold storagestandpoint, depends altogether upon the care with which itis made and put in place. The joints around the framemust be sealed with oakum and paint and the packing mustform a continuous air-tight seal all around the sash. COLD STORAGE WINDOWS 231 The woo
