ridge pole, these are lifted by a three-eights iron 
having a hook at the upper end which is slipped through 
a hole in a small plate affixed to the middle of the lower 
end of each sash; the rod is steadied by being passed 
through two apertures at the end of a shaft three inches

screwed to a back side of the house; one about nine 
feet, and the other five fect from the ground. In the front 
of the lower hole is a screw worm, and a thumb screw to 
fit, which on being turned either way liberates or fastens 
the bar, and the sash is kept firm at any desired height.
