the simplicity of the construction. All parts 
fit into place at once, without puttying, cement- 
ing, laboring or tinkering. Another advantage 
consists in its easy adaptation to every form 
of artistic design and finish, including the em- 
ployment of ordinary flat glass plates for 
arches. “The device represented by the next 
engraving is the “Lowell” apparatus, for oper- 
ating sashes and shutters. It and the skylight 
are manufactured by the G. Drouve Company, 
Bridgeport, Conn. By the mechanism used, a 
line of sash over five hundred feet long can be 
surely, safely and expeditiously operated from 
one station. It makes no difference as to the 
kind of sash to be opened, the apparatus work- 
ing equally well with the sash hung from the 
top, pivoted at the sides or top or bottom, or 
hinged at the bottom. It can also be adapted

to sliding or ordinary lifting windows. It 
possesses practical features of great impor- 
tance that will interest owners of railway com- 
panies, large plants, etc.: the windows for an 
entire building can be rapidly closed in case 
of fire or panic while the occupants are leav- 
ing. Owners or controllers of factories, mills 
and the like have long awaited the system 
which would insure perfect ventilation and 
permit of faultless operation conveniently and 
quickly. They will find it in this strong and 
durable mechanism. ‘The specialties of this 
firm are by no means confined to the features 
mentioned, as the catalogue on sheet metal 
and architectural work of every description 
will show.
