Window Shades by David S. Lawyer
			March 2003
Clerestory window shades on S. side of sanctuary:  End brackets are
heavy duty (cast, not sheet metal) for large pins.  Uses 1 1/2 inch
diameter rollers.  Someone once installed one or two 1 1/4" diameter
which had small pins which required shims to keep the rectangular pin
from rotating.  Length of roller (excluding pin protrusions): 55" for
#2 and #3 (#1 is westmost) 54 1/2" for #5 (others not measured).
Shade fabric width is about 1" less.

We need this heavy-duty system since shades (and rope-pulley system)
is both heavy and exterior.  If we had sheet metal brackets, they
wouldn't allow rectangular pin to be inserted from underneath.  Must
remove nail "keeper" to remove rectanular pin.  Pawls have all been
disabled so there is always tension on rope (unless shade is all the
way up).  Some are disablesd by rust, but #2 and #3 (see below) were
disabled with contact cement which might be enabled again by just
prying on the pawls as the cement is not too strong.

2003: Purchased 2@ 1 1/2 inch ones from  Sunshine Shade Shop, 127 La
Porte, Arcadia.  Due to thick plastic bushing on the square pins, the
distance between brackets needed to be be 55 1/8" but was only about
55".  So moved right bracket on #3 (counting W to E) but there was no
free space to move brackets on #2.  So pried with screwdriver to
install #2.  To remove, use a tiny scredriver and pry on butt end of
square pin.

Sash hooks in Henry House are International brand.  These hooks are
plastic and attach the sash cord cables to the window sash.  Available
in gray (hard to find) or black.
