Glazing Windows Without Putty.

Glass panes can be held in place without the use of putty by the use of a flexible metal or rubber strip like <i partly open tube laid upon the pane and held down by a set of clamps spaced along the pane, says the Scientific American. First apply the pane of glass so as to fit it into the usual recess, then lay the prepared metal spring strip along one side and screw on a plate at the corners of the pane and, say one at the middle, these befog flat plates with a somewhat Incurved edge where they take hold of the spring strip, and are screwed on the woodwork at the side of the pane with the curved edge projecting out and over the pane so as to inclose the strip. The latter are of course put on at all four sides of the pane. A double pane with air space between can be applledjby using a deep recess and Just laying the pane, then the strip, next a second pane and finally a strip that now comes flush with the woodwork and can be fastened down by the metal plate as before.
