Re: [bolger] Windows

Thanks, Jeff--very timely. I started that discussion,
and am now puzzling over the installation of plexi
windows on my Topaz. Looks like lots of neat, helpful
stuff on the site. Sam

While I do not know what they are called, though I heard them called
pullman? or train car windows there is a vertical sliding
kindadjustable by astrap with eyeholes on a hook lowered they slip out
of sight in protective bays the strap hiik on an inverted peg below
the window so when the window needs to be all of the way up the strap
is down in front

having wrote that there is another solution On the bluebird
schoolbusses the windows are split unto upper and lower halfs and
spring loaded friction mechinisms hold them in place that gives you
half ventalation and half clear glass. last sugention I use a
backhow,(Case) it has triple windows ( three tracks) upper is outer
most and hook or ratchets on each side. by lowering the midddle window
then the upper window you get about 75 percent air space and the
lowest part still lets light in

Thanks guys, my brain is begining to actually work.

David,

Wiley windows are great, I've built and used them. A piece of 1/4"
plywood with the center cut out and a screen stapled to it makes a
great bug screen.

They wont work in my application though. I've got a 24" x 24" window
with only 3" above it to the overhead.

Jim,

Good thoughts.

Trim on the outside I'd be worried about wind pressure pushing in
when
trailering, have to think on that one.

Swinging in and hanging from the overhead is restricted by the small
(4' X 6') pilothouse and five 24" x 24" windows, to crowded.

More suggestions welcomed.

Rick
