Tlie sash is.dispensed ; with entirely,' and its place is. taken by • a piece of plate-glass covering the en- i tire window opening. The glass-is held ; rather firmly in place between two j strips on each, side of a .heavy felt,, be- I tweon which it is moved with a slight | effort, but theadhesion of the felt-and j glass surface is sufficient to hold the ■ pane at any point that the passenger i may desire. The movement of the glass j is facilitated by two knobs secured to J the pane-near the top, which' also serve j the purpose of preventing the glass j from dropping below the sill when lowered to its fullest extent for the admis- j sion of air.
