   Thanks, I just searched for sites. I always forget you can just search images.

   I was hoping for a little more clear picture of an interior door w/a transom light. Also I was hoping for a close up of the opening mecanism.

   not asking much right? Just clear pictures of something that hasnt been built in decades. :)

   For some reason I cant get on their site right now, but I think i've already been there. I'm going to see if I can find any books on the subject. I'd like some clear pics to see if it is something relatively simple to build or if it isnt worth the time. I havent found any good shots online.

   The ones I remember were simple mechanically.  Hinged at the bottom like a hopper window, with just a piece of sash chain to limit the distance they open.  The fancy part was the latch, a spring loaded bolt with a loop handle that fits a horizontal pin on the end of a pole.

   Here's the latch:

    Here's the end-of-pole hardware:

   Sounds about like I remember them too. Problem is its been too long since i've seen them. If I cant picture them, I cant build them.
