Lee Bow Window Features Marvel Lok Joint

An important advance in bow window construction was recently made by Lee Millwork Corporation of Fair Lawn, New Jersey. After eight years of manufacturing bow windows, first with a standard rabitted joint and then with a regular dovetail joint, the firm is now using the new Marvel Lok joint in its Lee Bow windows. The joint was first shown at the Middle Atlantic Lumberman's convention at Atlantic City in February' and has received general acclaim from the building trade.

The joint is guaranteed not to leak. It enables assembly with the frame Inembers "lockins" in place. An average-sized frame can be asserrrbled in twenty minutes either in the factory or on the job site. And the "blind" joint does not require any additional moldir-rgs on the inside of the frame.

A new fork-truck carriage extension f or use with narrowaisle trucks has been designed by engineers of The Raynrond Corporation. The new carriage accessory is designed for use with the company's "Four-Directional" truck in order to permit long flexible loads to ,be handled faster and with greater safety. It will simplify the handling of long springy items.

With the new carriage arrangement, most of the weight is carried by the main forks, with the outer extension forks holding up the ends of the load to prevent dragging or swaying. The stabilizing extension forks are adjustable to a maximum width of 15'. -fhe load stabilizer carriage hooks on to the standard fork carriage and may be easily removed when ordinary size pallet loacls are to be tiered.

Use of the carriage extension allows the Four-Directional, narrow-aisle truck to handle loads 15' or longer. In operation, with its loads across the forks, it moves down a wide main aisle and, when it reaches the narrow storage area, moves sideways with its load into an aisle that can be as narrow as 7 feet.

When exhaustive tests proved successful, the Marvel Lok joint was patented but there was some delay before production was begun ,because specialized machinery had to be designed and built. The Marvel Lol< joint was so superior to the old dove-tail joint, that Lee scrapped more than 1,000 window parts machined with the old joint so that the Marvel Lok joint could be included in all units being shipped knocked down to distributors throughout the country.
