of the fixed panes are marked to be opened for cleaning only.^454 Standard No. 202

and inner casements were movable. The panes were fixed with wooden casings. The


outer casement was marked yellow and the inner one red in the picture.^455 Standard No.

with tubular profiles at the top and the bottom that slided one inside the other. The


inner pane was movable and the outer one fixed.^456 Standard No. 205 was a four-pane

of the window.^460 These two pencil drawings were somewhat sketchy in comparison to
