in reguards to the following post: "I have always thought that the bussiest people in Mayberry were the set builders. Every season a window or door appears or disapears,the heating system in the court house changes,and shrubery comes and goes. The list goes on and on.I am wondering if the portrait of a pretty woman,hanging on the Taylors living room wall,is of Andys? late wife?Later it moves from the wall where Andy hangs Eagle Eye Annie to the left side of the front door.????? I also wonder what the box like structures ,at the bottom of? the court house windows?,that appear in season 3,are? Someone called them flower boxes but they are too narrow for that and they donot have bottoms because you can see the venition blind cords hanging out of the bottom.????????????? Joe Layton" I think the "box like structures" at the bottom of the windows are used to deflect the air up toward the celing should the window be open. This keeps any air or breeze from blowing directly into the room or across a desk where papers would be blown around. It allows for air circulation without the air being blown directly into the room. The ones I have seen in the past, and a long time ago, I might add, had boards at each end with a groove where the flat boards could be slid in and out depending if you want to use them or not. I have seen these boards used like this in the past. Matter-of-fact a place where I worked back in the 60's had these on the windows. We didn't have AC back then and the windows were often opened. Even on a cold day, if it got hot inside, you could open the window a little bit and use the board and help get some cool air in and not have it blow directly on anyone. Very usefull back then, " in the good old days." _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
