This is placed in the aperture of the building on which the window will be set, and the two inner panes are fitted with glazing bars. They allow them to slide up and down, opening and closing the window.
At first the windows were opened horizontally however, they were later modified to open vertically. The idea behind this is credited to the British philosopher and architect Robert Hooke. He worked with Christopher Wren to rebuild the city following the Great Fire in 1666. He was also responsible for a number of notable structures like Montagu House in Buckinghamshire, and Ragley Hall Warwickshire.

Screens for Entry
The brand new Elizabeth Line, (formerly the Crossrail Project) has platform screen doors on each of the 16 sub-surface platforms. These screens provide digital advertising and information for passengers.
The first entrance screen for the City of London Cemetery was a traditional construction of Kentish Ragstone walls and Caen stone copings, as well as decorative carvings. The stone was originally encased in Portland cement but this proved less than ideal as the acid rain of the 19th Century caused carbonates to decompose and sulphate-crystallisation accelerated the decay of limestones such as Caen.
Nanolime was used to slow down the complicated combination of decay mechanisms that were eroding the central part of the panel. This has slowed the need for costly replacement of the stone and offered a more tolerant alternative to more aggressive chemical consolidants.
