Rudiger-Lorg Announces First Mochi n€-Frode, Al uminum Frome Window ScreGn--lh€ tTru-fromet

The first frame screen made entirely by machine is now in production at the Berkeley, Calif., plant of RudigerLang Co. This achievement of the firm's engineering staff, headed by Vice-President Albert 8,. Lang, was announced in June by President Henry J. Rudiger. The new product, called the Tru-frame window screen, has a one-piece aluminum frame with the aluminum wire cloth held under uniform tension by a metal spline.

"Right from the design of the product so that it has a neater, more inco.nspicuous frame while maintaining customary standards of strength, the Tru-frame represents a major engineering undertaking successfully completed," states Mr. Rudiger.

"Mr. Lang has been thinking about this problem during the many years we have been in the screen business, and he began the actual design of tht equipment two years ago. Our machine shop as well as our engineering staff have been rvorking on the actual construction of this equipment tor 20 months.

"It represents a great and important development in the sash and screen field, since this machine will make Tru-frames for casement, panel, and sliding wood or metal windows using mass production methods. This results in improved quality at lower cost," Mr. Rudiger said.

"With the increased use of metal windows of all types the need is now greater than ever for low-cost, uniformlv made frame screens. Our equipment rvill produce them in the sizes required for all types of windorvs," he concluded.

Rudiger-Lang Co. also makes the Roll-A\vav screen, which can be rolled up into an overhead housing u'hen not in use, and the T.ension-tite screen for double-hung r,vood lvindows.
