Upright or side-lights, two feet high, run the entire length of each house, and are made to open and shut by means of a I'od of iron, which runs the whole length also. To this rod are attached shorter rods at intervals of four or five feet, with XI.—VENTILATIIfG ArPABATTJS. joints; the other end of the shorter rocc3 being at- tached to the lights, both ends of the short rod work- ing on a joint. To one end of the long rod is fixed a long screw, working in slings made to receive it. To this screw is attached a grooved wheel, which is made to i-evolve in an endless chain, acted upon by another grooved wheel, turned by a handle placed in some convenient part of the house. By the action of the screw, the long rod is drawn backwards or forwards, which acts upon the short rods, and opens or shuts the light to any requii-ed point. The same system of raising the lights may be appUed to one or more of the lights, or to the whole, as may be necessary. 688. The system of ventilation adopted by Mr, Messenger will be better understood by reference to the diagram, in which BB are short rods, con- nected with the sling A at one end, and the lights at the other. The dotted lines, Df represent the upright divisions which support the roof; E, the screw- siirgs, in which the screw F is to work; G is a grooved wheeLin which the.
