..PACIFIC SWING.IN CASEMENT'' MAKES ITS APPEARANCE MARCH 1

The casement window lends itself to a wider range of typical architecture than any other window opening. However, in the past, owing to the unsatisfactory results concurrent with casement windorvs which swing in, this type of casement has been very largely "tabooed" by architects and builders. And the swing out casement, with its direct exposure to the sun and elements, and its attendant inside screen condition, has long since ruled this type out of popular demand.

The single, or pair, of sash is suspended on a sub stile and head, one and ahalf inches in width, and the same thickness as the sash. This sub-frame is lifted by means of a lever, acting thru a connecting link to the base of the sub-stile, in a oblique motion, theieby permitting the sash to pass over the stool surface, and at the same time releasing the interlock at the meeting stiles of the casement. Swinging on ordinary parliment butts, the sash is then opened inward, the same as any swinging member is operated.

The "Pacific Swing-In Casement" is simplicity itself. Void of complicated mechanisms, or a multiplicity of intricate parts, this casement is most practical.

When the casements are ensemble is locked, so that required to assure security within.

Manufactured in three finishes of operating handles:statuary bronze, dull brush brass, and bright nickel.
