We have also had a second complete Fire Test made by the Underwriters Laboratories, which demonstrated that the Expansion Channel (see cut page 9) in connection with the Winslow Fire Window will not be required. An Addenda to their full report has been issued by the Underwriters Laboratories covering this omission and their acceptance of the window p without this feature. « Re Mii \ Mm V/IN iii ve it iu ss si il AUSTRAL-BALANCE ILLUSTRATED CATALOGUE THIRD EDITION 1915 Solid Rolled Steel Windows As Designed and Manufactured by _ HECEA- WINSLOW COMPANY wc WE ba OT | 40th STR AVENUE, NEW YORK 4600 HARRISON ST., CHICAGO i | FORMERLY HECLA IRON WORKS €cp THE WINSLOW BROS.

The Winslow Window completely meets the demand for an attractive, fire-proof, and durable solid steel window for public buildings of all kinds, such as office buildings, banks, libraries, hotels, schools, hospitals, etc. The Winslow Window is the only type of window which provides Scientific Ventilation. It is easily adapted to the requirements of any type of construction of buildings, old or new. It has been thoroughly tested for weather-tightness, practicability, operation, etc., and only the highest grade of materials are used in its construction. This superiority is attested by the fact that it is endorsed and manufactured by the Hecla-Winslow Company, Inc., a recent consolidation of the well- known Hecla Iron Works of New York, and The Winslow Brothers Company of Chicago. A complete specification for the window, for the masonry, and for the glazing is provided, which will assist the Architect in making details and specifications. Having large manufacturing facilities we can guarantee prompt deliveries. Correspondence solicited.

IN GENERAL The construction and operation of this window is practically the Underwriters’ Labeled Type ANCHORS HARDWARE MUNTINS GLAZING STOPS DIES SHADE FITTINGS same as our typical window, ex- cept in the addition of Expansion Channel frames, Water Bars, extra Anchors and Dividing Muntins, with more frequent screws to glazing stops. Also Cam Catehes are of malleable iron instead of bronze, and glass is subdivided in accordance with requirements by the Underwriters’ Laboratories. EXPANSION These are of heavy gauge steel FRAMES formed to fit snugly over tee frame, with slotted hole connec- tions to same to allow window to expand under extreme heat, without disturbing surrounding masonry. See page 9. Additional anchors of special design are provided, not over 24 inches apart to insure frame being thoroughly held in place in masonry. See page 10. Consists of Cam Catches at meeting rail, made of Mialleable Iron and Bronze Handles as on typical window. Dividing muntins are inserted in sash so that exposed @lass area shall not exceed 310 sq. in., in addition to % in. allowed for glazing stops. These muntins are oxy-acetylene welded into the sash. Are of steel as in typical windows, excepting that screws are of steel, sherardized, to prevent rusting in place. Are the same as for our typical windows, excepting the addition of a Zee water bar at bottom to fit into masonry sill. See page 8. These are the same in all respects as furnished with the typical window. Page eighteen THE WINSLOW WINDOW The Winslow Fire Window Underwriters’ Label The Following is a copy of the ‘‘recommendation” made in general report on the Winslow Fire Window by the Chief En&ineer of the Underwriters’ Laboratories: Hele Nig IU. RECOMMENDATION TO THE COUNCIL OF UNDERWRITERS’ LABORATORIES : We recommend promulgation of the following notice to subscribers and the action indicated thereby. WINDOWS 702- Hecla-Winslow Company, Inc., Manufacturer, Harrison Street, 46th and 47th Aves., Chicago, Ill. Solid Section Metal Window Frame for Wired Glass. Window consists of a frame in which two sashes, one above the other, “are pivoted to balance, or tilting arms. Sides and top of frame provided with expansion relief channels and with adjustable wall anchors. Edges of lights extend into grooves one-half inch deep. Exposed area of glass not greater than 510 square inches in any light. Sashes provided with guides at top and bottom and with a lock at middle of meeting rails. Windows examined at factory and passed by Underwriters! Laboratories have labels attached. LABELS -- Illustration on reverse side of this card. (See below.) These windows in sizes not exceeding 5 by 9 feet, are approved for protection of moderately exposed exterior openings. Underwriters having jurisdiction to be consulted as to which type, if any, of wired glass window will be accepted in any particular location and as to approval of installation, glazing and automatic attachments. The label is evidence of the proper construction of the window at the factory. This card is issued by Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc., and replaces 702, dated August 30, 1913. Test and Report by Respectfully submitted, Mee CARR, Asst. Ene. ; 6 Kobi ne. Chief Engineer. The Foregoing Recommendation has been accepted and the action proposed therein has been taken. February 10, 1914. Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc. UNDERWRITERS’ LABORATORIES, I INSPECTED FIRE WINDOW FRAME NO S. Re Full size illustration of Label referred to above Page nineteen THE WINSLOW WINDOW The Winslow Fire Window “Non-labeled” This type of window is adaptable to party wall and court exposures, where wired alass is necessary or desirable, to meet the requirements of the Building Depart- ment; and where a strict adherence to all the stipulations of the Underwriters’ Laboratories, as described on preceding pages, need not be followed. The general detail of construction is iden- tical with the typical Winslow Window, except that dividing muntins 114” in width are added. See page 9. Windows of this character, where wired glass is used, should have an exposed area of not more than 720 sq. inches in each subdivision. This is a requirement of the Building Departments of most of our principal cities. Expansion channel frames and malleable Newnes sole Bg iron hardware are not required, our standard bronze hardware being advisable. This type of window may also be used on principal, or street fronts, where a subdivision of the alass is desired for architectural effect. In this case, plate or other clear glass would be used, and the dividing muntins 34" in width are advised. The subdivision in this case can be either as shown above or as shown in connection with the fire window, or of any other design preferred. This type of window would not bear the label of the Underwriters’ Laboratories. Page twenty DESCRIPTION ARRANGEMENT OF SHADES SHADE BRACKETS SHADE CONTROLLER SHADE CATCHES AS AWNINGS ROLLER SHADES DIAGRAM OF SIZES OF SHADES THE WINSLOW WINDOW Description and Details of Roller Shades and their perfect efficiency as Awnings A Description of the Shade Fittings and directions for installing Roller Shades with the object of insuring the most satisfactory results. See pages 22 and 23. Owing to the unique design and operation of the Winslow Window, the ordinary type of fittings are not suitable, and especially designed fittings are therefore provided, as described herewith. These comprise: Shade Brackets to support roller, Shade Catches to hold cord from slipping, and Shade Controllers, Patented, the latter an entirely new feature to take the place of pawls and ratchets. This leaves only the shade proper with cord to be selected. Two independent shades are required, one on upper, and one on lower sash. Various arrangements of these are possible—the No. 1 bein& recommended, with No. 2 next, the fittings being adapted to any position. See accompanying cuts on page 23. These are shown in Figs. 1 and 5, page 22, being securely screwed to sash. This is shown in Fig. 7, page 22, and is an especially practical and efficient fitting to prevent shade from unwinding when in tension, and takes the place of the ordinary delicate pawls and ratchets, which should be removed entirely. These are to hold cord with shade in tension in plane of glass; are made of die cast white metal of peculiar cam shape to prevent cord from slipping. The two styles, V and W, are made for fastening to glazing stops or on face of sash as shown. See Figs. 2 and 4. Owing to the unique manner of operation the Shades on a Winslow Window make perfect awnings, easily set to any position, shading the room from the direct rays of the sun, while giving more or less direct light at the same time. These are not furnished with the Window, the following being our recommendation in selecting or specifying with the view to obtaining best results :— 1.—Shades should be made full length of barrel of roller, to avoid a streak of light at sides. 2.—The Roller should be 114” in diameter, regardless of width of window, as fittings are all made for this size. 3.—Slat in Shade should not be less than 114” wide, with eyelet at center, and also have a 1” flap if possible to insure complete exclusion of light when entirely closed. 4.—Cords should be of braided material about No. 4, of 800d quality to insure best service. A diagram will be furnished on request, giving the exact lenath and width of shades, with complete instructions to aid purchaser in ordering.

Page twenty-three THE WINSLOW WINDOW IN GENERAL DELIVERY AND SETTING FRAMES AND SILLS ANCHORS SASH GLASS STOPS Proposed Form that may be used by the Architect in specifying The Winslow Window This contractor shall furnish al! material and labor to execute and erect complete, ready for mason, glazier and painter, all the Winslow Windows shown on the accompanying plans, and as required by this specification, of the best materials and workmanship throughout. The frames, with sash fitted into same, shall be delivered to the building, assembled complete, and shail be set by this contractor, as the masonry progresses, plumb and true to line, without wind or warp, and held rigidly in place by clips to beams above, or braced in an approved manner, while being thoroughly masoned in. The frames and sash shall be wedged at meeting rail to prevent mason crowding side frames against sash while building in. Sash shall be kept closed with temporary clips and screws, which together with wedges at meeting rail, must not be removed until after glazing is completed and putty set. Work shall be left completely finished, free from defacement, and first class in every respect, to the satisfaction of the architect. All frames and sills shall be made of solid rolled, open hearth steel in various and special shapes, sharp and true as shown. Sill and head to have special channel shapes attached. Sill to have clip knee at center to fit over masonry sill, to prevent forward movement in erecting. Frames and sills shall be thoroughly connected with mortise and tenon in most substantial manner possible. No rivets or knees to be used. Steel Anchors shall be furnished where shown. Those at sides are of the utmost importance so that jambs are prevented from crowding sash at meeting rail. Sash shall be built up of special moulded solid rolled steel as detailed, thoroughly oxy-acetylene or electrically welded at all mitres. No riveting or other method of connection will be allowed. The glass stops shall be of special moulded solid rolled steel, secured with bronze oval head screws to prevent rust, and be placed on inside of windows to allow of glazing from inside of the building. Page twenty-four THE WINSLOW WINDOW AUSTRAL Sash are to be supported and connected by two “Austral Balance” BALANCE ARMS Arms holding both sash in balance, and in any desired position. These shall be made of solid drop forged open hearth steel. Pivoted con- nections to jamb and sash shall also be of best tested open hearth steel of sizes shown, and bushed with bronze ferrules to insure against rusting or “freezing.” These Balance Arms shall disappear ‘entirely when window is closed. ROLLER GUIDES .

CLEANER BOLTS Provide at points shown, solid drop forged steel Cleaner Bolts, of “double bolt” type, carefully and safely riveted to steel frame in most substantial manner. Cleaner’s harness and outfit to be furnished by others. SHADE. FITTINGS Owing to the special desian of sash this contractor is to furnish and attach special shade roller fittings, consisting of Brackets, Controllers and Catches, which fittings are specially designed to suit the window. The brackets shall be in steel, stamped to design and electroplated in bronze, while the cam rollers of catches shall be of die cast white metal, insuring sharp clean-cut outlines, all left in perfect order, ready to receive shade. Shade rollers, shades proper, and cords to be furnished and installed by others. FINISH This contractor shall paint all parts of the window complete with one , shop coat of “Tockolith,’ or pure red lead and oil, as may be directed. All contact surfaces must be thoroughly painted before assembling. Final finish painting will be furnished by others. NOTE Special features, such as transoms, mullions, muntins or other type of window, to be specially described and specified. The above specifica- tion applies in general only to a typical Winslow Window. Page twenty-five THE WINSLOW WINDOW BUILDING IN ANCHORS Proposed Form that may be used by the Architect in Specifications for Masonry In Connection with The Winslow Window The Winslow Window, being of slender steel construction and depend- ing upon accurate and rigid building in, for its successful operation, requires more than usual co-operation on the part of the mason with the window contractor. After masonry sills are set, window will be erected and braced plumb and true by window contractor; the masonry contractor shall make proper bed of cement mortar to receive same, great care being taken that weight of window comes at the ends of sill and not at center, in order that sill may remain straight and true, perfectly level, and the jambs perpendicular. The masonry contractor shall then build in frame complete, using great care that the steel tee frame and sill are thoroughly grouted, especially the under-cut portion of frame, which must be absolutely filled in at all points. The mortar for grouting shall be mixed with an approved waterproofing compound. Frames and sills to be neatly pointed up after completion, leaving the work in a perfect workmanlike and finished condition, absolutely weather-tight at all points. Only the best materials shall be used as specified elsewhere for similar work. Special Care must be taken that anchors at sides adjoining meeting rail be thoroughly built in so as to be absolutely immovable. If this is not done the jambs are liable to crowd the sash and bind them so that their operation will be made impossible. The Winslow Window is erected with sash and frame assembled com- plete and locked closed, with wedges between sash and side frame to insure freedom of motion when released. This Contractor must, therefore, take special note that above instruc- tions are carefully followed, and will be held responsible if these anchors are not thoroughly and rigidly held in place. Page twenty-six ‘THE WINSLOW WINDOW Proposed Form that may be used by the Architect in specifications for Glass and Glazing In Connection with The Winslow Window Owing to the design of the Winslow Window, the upper and lower sash must balance, making it of the utmost importance that the glass be of the same thick- ness or weight for each window. This requires glass being selected with great care; each sect of two pieces required for a window being exactly the same size, must therefore be of the same thickness or weight, a latitude being allowable of not to exceed two pounds. All glazing must be done on the building at such time as may be directed. Steel glazing stops attached with bronze screws are provided with the window; this contractor to remove and replace same, and be responsible for any damage to stops or loss of screws in @lazina. All glazing is done from the inside of building. Putty should contain the prop2r amount of litharge to insure thorough drying and hardening. Sash must not be opened while glazing, as sash members are slender and apt to bulge or swell if glazed open, causing them to bind and defeat ease of operation. For this reason all sash are locked with temporary clips and screws at meeting rail and wedged at sides when delivered at the building. The sash must not be opened until several days after glazing. Wood cushions or other bearing blocks must be placed at extreme corners to avoid putting weight of glass at center of sash, This Contractor shall take extraordinary precautions for the protection of glass in this contract after same is put in place at the building, and he shall be held responsible for all breakages in the glass until the building is completed and accepted. At completion, or when so ordered, the contractor shall clean the glass of all oil or other defacement; wash and leave perfectly clean. Page twenty-seven DELIVERY AND HANDLING ERECTING SHIMS OR WEDGES CALKING AND POINTING ANCHORS HARDWARE ROLLER SHADES THE WINSLOW WINDOW Instructions for Erecting Winslow Windows Windows are shipped from factory with Sash, Balance Arms and Roller Bearings complete, but without Hardware. Hardware packed separately. Head, Meeting Rail and Sill are wrapped securely with cloth to prevent clogging up with mortar and dirt. This cloth must not be removed until ready for glazing. Great care must be exercised in handling, especially from depot, so that frames and sash do not get warped or damaged. Great care must be used in setting windows perfectly plumb, true, level and not warped, on masonry sill. Masonry sill should be well grouted or bedded with Cement Mortar before frames are set. Frames must be braced at upper corners, preferably to spandrel beams, to avoid disturbance while being built in. Shims or Wedges of hard fiber, acting as spacers are provided and driven in between sash and side frames at meeting rail to prevent crowding side frames by mason. It is very important that masonry be not allowed to crowd in these side frames which would cause sash to bind in operation. These Shims must remain in place until after masonry is thoroughly well set. replace at once before masonry is started. If lost, To make frames perfectly weather-tight they should be well cemented or grouted by Mason while being built in, care being taken that entire joint between frame and mason work is filled in with cement mortar. No calking with oakum or other similar material should be allowed at side frames that would tend to crowd them against the sash. If necessary, frames can be pointed up after being built in, using a Plastic Cement or Cement Putty. Anchors are provided for side frames at meeting rail, and it is very important that they be well built in and grouted with aT HEAD SHADE BRACKETS Cement or cement Mortar so that when y uy ead mason work is completed they will thor- ss BSA, A Zee neAD | Reh or goer oughly anchor side frames into masonry and prevent crowding the sash.

Should any part of window be chafed or damaged in shipping or erecting, such should be touched up at the building at once to thoroughly protect the window before the final finish painting is applied. The finish painting is not a part of our contract unless specially arranged for. GLASS AND GLAZING The glass shall be of first quality polished plate, uniform in thickness to insure proper balance. Glazing should be done using a minimum of putty, and putty must contain sufficient litharge to insure thorough drying and hardening. Cut in margin illustrates best practice, i. e., use a minimum of putty “thumbed” into sash as shown, press lass in place, then “back putty” as indicated.
