I have enourmous mail problem right now. Here the reply to your mail:

I'm glad that anything happens with the classic windows I love so much. But
right now, I can't be so much of help due to much work.

Here's the latest lds - I think... The headers out the output files still need
some postprocessing.

btw, have you seen the very old windows (those _without_ studs!) I posted to
lugnet.dat.parts a couple of weeks ago? Let's say we didn't think of them! ;)

Yes, I can live with separate glass pane parts, but I will not take any
responsibility for the running out of 3-digit part numbers... ;) If you like to
use only one variant of pins, inline the pins or rename them, that's no problem
with me. In other words: you are free to do whatever you think is best with
them. Unfortunately, I can only come with some small input right now.

I am pretty sure the solid stud variant only came with large ledge because the
reason they shortned the ledges was to allow the shutters to be completely
closed. And the shutters came in the early 70's, or at least long after the
solid studded windows era. I haven't seen any solid studs on an ABS made window.

Here's the latest lds - I think... The headers out the output files still need

OK - I'll take a look at this and post a follow-up.


btw, have you seen the very old windows (those _without_ studs!) I posted to
lugnet.dat.parts a couple of weeks ago? Let's say we didn't think of them! ;)

Yes - I saw you posted those to lugnet. Are they in a state to post on the Parts
Tracker? Although I suspect we will struggle to get these certified through the
normal means, as I didn't see much confirmation of these from the rest of the
lugnet.cad community.

Yes, I can live with separate glass pane parts, but I will not take any
responsibility for the running out of 3-digit part numbers... ;) If you like to
use only one variant of pins, inline the pins or rename them, that's no problem
with me. In other words: you are free to do whatever you think is best with
them. Unfortunately, I can only come with some small input right now.

Thanks. Once I have processed these, I _would_ appreciate your input to confirm
which variants exist, though.

I am pretty sure the solid stud variant only came with large ledge because the
reason they shortned the ledges was to allow the shutters to be completely
closed. And the shutters came in the early 70's, or at least long after the
solid studded windows era. I haven't seen any solid studs on an ABS made window.

As I dont have any solid-stud classic windows, can anyone please clarify whether
these had the "top holes" between the outer pair of studs, to hold the glass in
place.

I am pretty sure the solid stud variant only came with large ledge because

an ABS made window.


As I dont have any solid-stud classic windows, can anyone please clarify whether
these had the "top holes" between the outer pair of studs, to hold the glass in
place.

I have generated the DAT files for all the single pane classic windows up to
1x4x2. Now I could really do with some assistance to clarify which versions
really exist.

I have generated a quick reference page at
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/chris.w.dee/LDrawClassicWindows/

Please reply to this message with the proposed part number (eg. 27a.dat) if you
can confirm the existence any of the versions marked "unknown".

I was looking on the quick reference page and there are three windows type
missing from that list. Maybe you have them on another list? I have 4 pieces
of 453cc01 (red), and one piece of 453bc01 (red), 2 pieces of 31cc01 (red),
3 pieces of 7026cc01 (2 red, 1 yellow).

But I also have 1 piece of 1x6x3 yellow window with hollow studs, and there
are almost no ledge here, or it is square. And in addition to this I have 2
pieces of 1x6x2 red windows with hollow studs (one with long ledge the other
with short ledge), both with holow studs. Another thing with those two
windows is that there are three window "fields", the field in the middle is
3 like a 3 studs wide, and those to on the side is like 1,5 sud wide fields.
I do not have a digital camera at this time so I can not show you how they
look like at this time.

And the last 4 classic windows pieces I have (actually they are doors) is
1x2x3 Windows with two fields divided horisontaly. Lowest field is 1unit
high and top is 2 units high. They do not have a sharp ledge and look more
like the 1x6x3 window. I have 1 white, 2 yellow and 1 red pieces.

Are there any partnumber on thise last three types of windows?

Can I get the ldraw .dat file for any of these classic windows?

Thanks for your response.

I was looking on the quick reference page and there are three windows type
missing from that list. Maybe you have them on another list? I have 4 pieces
of 453cc01 (red), and one piece of 453bc01 (red), 2 pieces of 31cc01 (red),
3 pieces of 7026cc01 (2 red, 1 yellow).

Thanks, these are already confirmed from my collection. So far the reference
page contains only those sizes up to 1x4x2 - the larger ones already exist in
the official library (see below) and although in need of some work could not be
generated by Tore's LDS script. Watch this space.

But I also have 1 piece of 1x6x3 yellow window with hollow studs, and there
are almost no ledge here, or it is square.

Yes this is 604.dat http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/search.cgi?q=604. In my
collection it exists both with and without the small holes, but always with
hollow studs and no ledge.

And in addition to this I have 2
pieces of 1x6x2 red windows with hollow studs (one with long ledge the other
with short ledge), both with holow studs. Another thing with those two
windows is that there are three window "fields", the field in the middle is
3 like a 3 studs wide, and those to on the side is like 1,5 sud wide fields.
I do not have a digital camera at this time so I can not show you how they
look like at this time.

Yes, this is http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/search.cgi?q=645. This needs some
work to bring the ledge design in line with what I have already done for the
smaller windows.

And the last 4 classic windows pieces I have (actually they are doors) is
1x2x3 Windows with two fields divided horisontaly. Lowest field is 1unit
high and top is 2 units high. They do not have a sharp ledge and look more
like the 1x6x3 window. I have 1 white, 2 yellow and 1 red pieces.

Yes, this is http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/search.cgi?q=32 or
http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/search.cgi?q=33. I'm not aware of any varients,
except that all my (6) copies of part 32 have the small hole and all my (2)
copies of part 33 do not have that hole.

And there is one more, not already mentioned - 1x6x2 with shutters
http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/search.cgi?q=646 whichalso exists in Long Ledge
and Short Ledge versions.

Are there any partnumber on thise last three types of windows?

Can I get the ldraw .dat file for any of these classic windows?

Yes in the official library, or individually through the above links.

My theory is that Samsonite (and maybe some more non-Danish plants?) made the
without holes version of the classic windows.

Also, Samsonite launced their version of 29c, 29c, and 27c without glass.

Plesae correct me if O'm mistaken.

I have a bunch of 27c new in Samsonite box, so it is really cofirmed!
I have some 27cc01; also cofirmed!


I hope to be able to confirm more later, got to go now.

The rest of that thread is also interesting in regards to classic windows.

Oh dear, oh dear! Just as I thought I was getting to understand something,
everything turns out to be much more complicated.

It really saddens me to see that appearantly it wasn't just Samsonite that sold
windows without glasses. Pop went my illusion. OTOH, the good thing is that
Samsonite's status has been upgraded from "almost clone" to "near LEGO original"
in my eyes... :)

Thanks - I had forgotten about Gary Istok's dissertations on the subject of
Classic Windows.

Regarding 646 (1x6x2 with Shutters)<QUOTE>
Here is what I have (with counts in parethesis):

Full Stud windows with sills (and 2 small holes on top):
#1 -- CA   1957 windows are "half pane" -  (4)

Hollow Stud windows with sills (and 2 small holes on top):
#2 -- CA   1958-64 windows are "half pane" - (23)
#3 -- CA   1968-64 windows are "full pane" -  (14)
#4 -- ABS 1964-71 windows are "half pane" - (55)
#5 -- ABS 1964-71 windows are "full pane" -  (9)

Hollow Stud windows without sills (and without 2 small holes on top):
#6 -- ABS 1972-80 windows are "full pane" -  (25)
</QUOTE>
We don't discriminate between CA and ABS, so #2=#4 and #3=#5. I also think the
that window pane size can be classed as non-functional, but that we should model
an actual combination, so I will make 646ac01 and 646bc01 with the narrow glass
and 646cc01 with the full-width glass.

So, in summary
#1 = 646ac01
#2,#3,#4,#5 = 646bc01
#6 = 646cc01

This thread also seems to confirm 39cc01 1x1x1 hollow studs, short ledge, glass,
and 33b / 33bc01 (thanks to Frank Filz).

Reference page updated, but I still need to generate DAT files and images for
the larger parts to represent the varients and improve / BFC those in the
official library.

I'm not sure what you are saying here. 32.dat is the left (hinged) door with the
knob on the right.
Do you mean you have 9 copies of
http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/search.cgi?q=32 all with no hole?
If true, it is certainly strange that all of my type 32 parts do have a hole and
all of my 33 parts have no hole. I'll check again tonight, but pretty sure I
recorded my findings correctly.

The discussion is probably acamdemic, since the presence or absence of the small
hole alone is non-functional, and seems to be correlated with the long ledge (on
parts that have a ledge). So for 32 and 33 I propose only to release two
versions :
..a : Solid stud, hole
..b : Hollow stud, hole (since we know this exists on 32 and 33) OR
..c : Hollow stud, no hole (if we can prove 32 without hole)
Does this make sense?

Chris,

Thanks for continuing work on this ‘project’. Actually, I appreciate everyone involved in this effort.

You mentioned discussion of a naming scheme. I don’t see (in this thread) where that was discussed. If you could point me in the right direction to (re)read that discussion, I’d appreciate it.

In the meantime, I’d like to propose a change to the names to better (IMO) balance readability and LDraw’s limits and standards versus the need for accuracy and precision. See the table below.

I will say right away that I don’t know that my proposed names are optimal -- my choices were driven (somewhat) by ‘doing the least amount of damage’. I do feel the newer names are a step in the right direction. Just maybe not the best step.

I made the following alterations:
  1. Expanded ‘(Compl.)’ to ‘(Complete)’.
  2. Moved ‘Classic’ to follow the dimensions, instead of preceding them.
  3. Changed ‘Ledge’ to ‘Sill’. ‘Sill’ seems to be an accurate label for the feature in question. If ‘ledge’ is actually a better term (I’m not an expert on window nomenclature), then we should stick with ‘ledge’.
  4. Replaced ‘S/Studs and L/Ledge’ with ‘Solid Studs’, as the solid stud is the identifying feature of these variations.
  5. Replaced ‘H/Studs and S/Ledge’ with ‘Short Sill’, as the short sill is the identifying feature of these variations.
  6. Replaced ‘H/Studs and L/Ledge’ with ‘Long Sill’. This abbreviation is definitely arguable, because unique identification of these variations requires mention of both stud type and sill width.
  7. Changed ‘with Shutters’ to ‘Classic Shuttered with...’.

   Following the naming scheme discussed here, the full set of LDraw files for the classic windows and their glass from 1x1x1 up to 1x6x2 has now been posted to the Parts Tracker. Please see the review summary http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptreviewsummary.cgi?f=classicwindows which should help to manage the review process. I’d like these to be issued as a batch.

Chris,

Thanks for continuing work on this ‘project’. Actually, I appreciate everyone involved in this effort.

You mentioned discussion of a naming scheme. I don’t see (in this thread) where that was discussed. If you could point me in the right direction to (re)read that discussion, I’d appreciate it.

In the meantime, I’d like to propose a change to the names to better (IMO) balance readability and LDraw’s limits and standards versus the need for accuracy and precision. See the table below.

I will say right away that I don’t know that my proposed names are optimal -- my choices were driven (somewhat) by ‘doing the least amount of damage’. I do feel the newer names are a step in the right direction. Just maybe not the best step.

I made the following alterations:
  1. Expanded ‘(Compl.)’ to ‘(Complete)’.
  2. Moved ‘Classic’ to follow the dimensions, instead of preceding them.
  3. Changed ‘Ledge’ to ‘Sill’. ‘Sill’ seems to be an accurate label for the feature in question. If ‘ledge’ is actually a better term (I’m not an expert on window nomenclature), then we should stick with ‘ledge’.
  4. Replaced ‘S/Studs and L/Ledge’ with ‘Solid Studs’, as the solid stud is the identifying feature of these variations.
  5. Replaced ‘H/Studs and S/Ledge’ with ‘Short Sill’, as the short sill is the identifying feature of these variations.
  6. Replaced ‘H/Studs and L/Ledge’ with ‘Long Sill’. This abbreviation is definitely arguable, because unique identification of these variations requires mention of both stud type and sill width.
  7. Changed ‘with Shutters’ to ‘Classic Shuttered with...’.

(Details snipped)

By naming scheme, I meant file-naming scheme. I didn’t detect that the descriptions were too long unitl I tried to post them to the Parts Tracker, and wasn’t that happy with how I ended up abbreviating them. At a first glance you suggestions look OK. I’ll take another look and fix them.

Thanks, Chris

As I dont have any solid-stud classic windows, can anyone please clarify whether
these had the "top holes" between the outer pair of studs, to hold the glass in
place.

Sorry to take over 2 years to answer this, but I never visit lugnet.cad.....
Only the recent posts to this thread made me view the entire thread.

All solid stud windows are otherwise identical to the "long ledge" variety, and
that includes the holes in top.

However, the solid stud doors (right and left handle) have a door knob or handle
that is larger than those of all later classic doors.

In the future, if you crosspost any classic window/door questions to
Lugnet.general, your response will be much more timely!  :-)

OK, I was just studying the differences between the solid stud classic
windows/doors, and the hollow stud variety.  And I found another difference....

If you take hollow stud classic windows/doors, and lay them face down, you will
see that the "side walls" of the 1x3x2 and larger windows have thicker sidewalls
than the 1x1x1, 1x2x1, 1x1x2, 1x2x2 windows and the 1x2x3 doors.  The smaller
windows and the doors have thinner sidewalls, except at the base where they get
thicker (so as to attach properly to baseplates/bricks).  With the full stud
windows/doors, ALL sizes of windows (and the doors) have the thick sidewalls.

Thanks, Gary,


That has also been pointed out earlier, but since it doesn't affect the function
or "behaviour" af the parts, those differences will be neglected in LDraw.

Thanks - that's what we concluded - and how they have been modelled.

However, the solid stud doors (right and left handle) have a door knob or
handle that is larger than those of all later classic doors.


Hmm - I'll try and take that it into account.

Point taken.
