WRIGHT & HOLMES' 



PATENT GLAZING BAR 



For Horticultural Buildings. 



Skc'iiox. 



AFTER many years experience with Iloriicultural Buildings and trials of 

 systems of glazing, we have found that this plan is the best yet 

 discovered, and has answered admirably everywhere where it has been 

 tried. Each bar is made in two parts and the lower half has a raised fillet 

 in the centre and on each side of this fillet is a groove. The lower half is 

 fixed at the lop and bottom to the radial ribs with the grooves upwards, a 

 copper clip is fixed at the lower end of the bar, the panes of {.lass are laid 

 on with their edges coming up to the side of the raised fillet and, to prevent 

 their slipping out of position, the copper clip is turned up and lies flat upon 

 the upper surface of the glass. The cap forming the upper part of bar is 

 grooved to fit the raised fillet of the lower portion of the bar, and the two 

 are screwed firmly together, the glass being thus secured between by the use 

 of three square-headed copper screws made specially for the purpose. 

 The two halves when screwed together form a water gutter from end to end, 

 consequently should any water find its way in at the edges of the glass it 

 runs down the grooves to the outside and cannot possibly find its way into 

 the house.
