Flystays for W40 Part II

This development is around 7 miles west of Boston, MA USA and 
had Steel Windows throughout the site.
These were fabricated in the UK and shipped out in containers.

Our part of the job was to provide the Flystays, which went through 
the section, allowing the light to be opened, with a fully fitted screen,
installed on the inner face of the frame.

We made over 700 of them, over a period of time and towards the 
end of the installation, went over to site, to see the end user and take
some shots of the windows.
We arrived on site, having driven up from Washington, in a beautiful
Chrysler 300 - to be greeted by the developers, who were very pleased
to see us and took us all around the site.

The images show the frames installed, prior to the screens being fitted.

A great job, that was very interesting to do and unlike most of the 
things I make, I got to see them fitted, on site.
Result!

Something less exciting and nearer to home, next time.

W40 Flystays, for a development in Boston, MA - USA.

I did this one quite a few years ago but as I have recently found some of
the images of them fitted on site, I thought I would show you the very
first ones, fitted on the frames, just to make sure the all was OK.

Shown as Closed, Half Open and Fully Open.


This shot was taken just before they were all crated up for shipping to the USA.

Next time, I will post up the shots of them on site.

Purpose made parts for windows.

Whilst trawling through some of my old project boxes, these came to light.

The pivot brake lever, was for a large project in London, where they had
"been removed without the permission of the owner"!!

This shows various jobs - a Plunger Stop for a sliding stay.
Steel, plated hinges for a fire corridor job - the orignals being brass, 
would have melted with the heat.
Square drive turnbutton and components, along with a very heavy duty 
handle back-plate, stud for a stay and a corner hinge.

I will be posting up a few more bespoke window parts, next time.
