   Yahoo has a G&G group that meets there.  Darrell Pertl is sometime there and he is a G&G guru.

   I remember a similar detail on the windows of the Blacker House which I got to see up close a couple of years ago.  My guess is that they didn't worry too much about practicality in the least, especially in respect to repairability.  These houses were made for the super-rich of the day, so they could afford to have someone make a whole new window.  Considering they had no routers and router planes wouldn't be all that effective on the curves my guess is that the windows were glazed with one piece of glass and the cloud lifts were applied.  Afterall they had no trouble 'faking it' with some non-functional splines and pegs in their furniture.

   The more things change ...

   We trained hard, but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams, we would be reorganized.  I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing; and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization.

   thanks Fellows,
   There is one photo, an angled shot, which seems to show a small dado in the various pieces into which the glas may have been placed, much like lead came in stained glass pieces.
   I'll try to find that yahoo group.
   Thanks again
