Saddle - LoveToKnow 1911 |
 | | The word is also applied to many objects resembling a saddle in shape or function, such as a block to support a spar in a ship, or in machinery to support a rod, or in masonry the top or "apex stone" of the gable of a roof, andc. |
 | | When the bays of the windows are wide, the lead lights are further strengthened by upright bars, passing through eyes forged on the saddle bars, and called stanchions. |
 | | When saddle bars pass right through the mullions in one piece, and are secured to the jambs, they have sometimes been called "stay bars." |
