Riordan Marked window leads have the potential to add significant insights to the understanding of archaeological sites. One of the few artifacts that commonly bears a date, window leads can provide a terminus post quem (TPQ) for the feature or level in which they are found. There have been attempts to go beyond their use as a TPQ, and, based on these artifacts, describe architectural sequences, structural changes, and do feature comparisons. While all of these have produced interesting results, their validity remains uncertain because of a lack of basic data on glaziers and vise makers. This study looks at the adoption of the glazier’s vise in England, identifies several of the men who made them, and investigates the history of several of the glaziers that used them. -

This Year's Top 50 Contract Glaziers Rankings Show a Decline in Sales
This Year’s Top 50 Contract Glaziers Rankings Show a Decline in Sales, But Optimism for the Year Ahead 34 hh USGlass Metal & Glazing hhFebruary 2021 For the David M. Rubenstein Forum at the University of Chicago, Glass Solutions’ scope included 31,500 square feet of its UCW 3400 Series 2-sided captured #33 unitized curtainwall system. f there was a word to describe the overall outlook surrounding the contracting glazing industry, that word might be cautious. Much of the industry survived the storm that began here in the U.S. last March when the country began to shut down due I to the rapid spread of the coronavirus. While we haven’t yet made it to the other side, many contract glaziers pointed to vac- cine distribution (see related article on page 30) and an end to the COVID-19 pandemic as reasons for optimism this year. “We hope to see the impacts of COVID-19 begin to subside re- sulting in more new construction projects, fewer COVID-19 pre- cautions at jobsites and, most importantly, the ability to restore and maintain personal connections with our employees and custom- ers,” said Adam Boeckmann, president and CEO of Architectural Wall Systems in Des Moines, Iowa. Given the many shutdowns across the country in 2020, it’s prob- ably not a surprise that sales for many contract glazing companies were down. According to this year’s report, the top 20 contract gla- ziers on our list saw more significant declines in 2020 than the top glazing contractors group as a whole. -

Worker Crushed by a Crate of Glass at a Residential Construction Site Case Report: 06NY001
STATE OF NEW YORK DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH FATALITY ASSESSMENT AND CONTROL EVALUATION Worker Crushed by a Crate of Glass at a Residential Construction Site Case Report: 06NY001 SUMMARY On January 9, 2006, a 60 year-old male ironworker employed by an ornamental metal working company sustained fatal injuries when a crate of glass panes fell on him at a residential construction site. On the day of the incident, the company was contracted to install curtain walls (large double- paned thermal insulated glass) at the residence. Prior to installation, the workers staged the crates containing multiple plates of glass in such a way that when the crates were opened, the plates of glass would not fall out and the top glass sheet could be easily retrieved. The workers stood the crates on their sides, tilted them to a slight angle and supported the crates with either wooden bars (legs) or another crate of similar size and weight. When crates are staged in pairs, they form an upright triangle or “A” frame with the tops of the two crates touching and supporting each other. The incident happened while the workers were staging two crates (A and B) into an “A” frame. Crate A weighed approximately 1,859 pounds (Lbs.) and Crate B weighed approximately 1,943 Lbs. At the time of the incident, the foreman was standing at the north end of the two crates and a co-worker was at the south end. The victim was at the west side of the crates facing Crate B. The foreman directed the workers to push and tilt the crates towards each other. -
