Venetian'blind, invented, by iMr. George Sollitt, on architect and a sexagenarian,' resident in ■ Hastings. ; The internal spring ; is modelled somewhat upon ; ,the ordinary, spring roller, but the ''gem'of'the'uewi idea/is that Venetian ladders replace the usual one-piece cloth blind. Two copper ribbons, one on each side, curry the whole weight, consequently there is no special strain - o'n ; " the ladders. Worked by a centre cord, the blind winds'itself automatically with a tonch of the hand, ascends horizontally ,(a considerable improvement on the present lopsided Venetian blind system), and can be stopped at any period of :tho ascent.'
