against rusting and shall be mounted on a steel handle plate. The handle plate shall be welded,
screwed or riveted to the opening frame in such a manner that it could be fixed before the shutter is
glazed and may not be easily removed after glazing.

The handle shall have a two-point nose which shall engage with a brass or aluminium striking plate
on the fixed frame in a slightly open position as well as in a fast position.

283
The height of the handles in each type of side hung shutter shall be fixed in position as indicated in
sketch below. Alternatively, handle with only one-point nose may be used.

The height of the handle plate in each type of standard window having horizontal glazing bar shall
be at the centre of the second pane from the bottom of the window. This dimension shall remain
same for the standard windows having no glazing bars also.

284
The boss of the handle shall incorporate a friction device to prevent the handle from drooping under
its own weight and the assembly shall be so designed that the rotation of the handle may not cause
it to unscrew from the pin. The strike plate shall be so designed and fixed in such a position in
relation to the handle that with the latter bearing against its stop, there shall be adequate tight fit
between the casement and the outer frame.

In cases where non-friction type hinges are provided, the windows shall be fitted with peg stays
which shall be either of pressed brass, cast brass or steel protected against rusting and shall be
300 mm long with steel peg and locking bracket. The peg stay shall have three holes to open the
side hung casements in three different angles. The peg stay shall be of minimum 2 mm thickness
in case of brass or aluminium and 1.25 in case of mild steel.

Friction hinges may be provided for side hung shutter windows, in which case peg stay may not be
required. The working principle of the friction hinge is illustrated below.

285
If specifically required, side hung and top hung shutters may be fitted with an internal removable fire
proof screen (of 1.40 x 0.710 mm MS wire cloth of IS : 1568-1970 ) in a 1.25 mm thick sheet steel
frame applied to the outer frame of the shutter by brass or aluminium turn buckles at the jambs and
brass or aluminium studs at the still to allow the screen being readily removed. The windows with
removable fly-proof screen shall be fitted with a through the screen lever operator at the still to
permit the operation of the shutter through an angle of 90o without having to remove the fly-proof
screen. The lever shall permit keeping the shutter open in minimum three different positions.

Top hung windows fitted with removable fly-proof screen shall be fitted with a through-the-screen
operator to enable operating and keeping the shutter open in minimum three different positions.
Top Hung Ventilator - The steel butt hinges for top hung ventilators shall be riveted to the fixed
frame or welded to it at the back after cutting a slot in it. Hinges to the opening frame shall be riveted
or welded and cleaned off.
Top hung casements shall be provided with a peg stay with three holes which when closed shall be
held tightly by the locking bracket. The locking bracket shall either be fitted to the fixed frame or to
the window.

286
287
POSITION OF HOLES, FIXING SCREWS AND LUGS

GLAZING

Glazing shall be provided on the outside of the frames.

Glazing clips for putty glazing shall be provided as standard fittings. The quantity of glazing clips
required for each glass pane of doors, windows, etc, shall be as per the previously given Table .
The method of fixing glazing clips is described below.

290
The portion’ A’ of the glazing clip shall be fitted into the slot in the window frame leaving the clip
resting on the glass. The portion ‘ B ‘ shall then be pressed along the glass towards the frame until
it springs into position in the clearance between the edge of the glass and the steel frame.

NOTE 1 - Glazing clips usually not provided for normal size glass panes, where large size Glass
panes are required to be used or where the casement of the window is located in heavily exposed
situation, holes for glazing clips will have to be drilled during fabrication.

NOTE 2 - Where the glass pane size does not exceed 600 x 300 mm, glazing clips not considered
necessary (for inside glazed windows for special use only two spring glazing clips per pane should
be provided). In case of doors, windows and ventilators without horizontal glazing bars, the glazing
clips may be spaced according to the slots in the vertical members, provided the spacing does not
exceed 300 mm. The quality of glazing clips required for each for standard size window shall be as
per the previously given.

Windows may also be prepared for bead glazing made from either 9.5 x 9.5 mm, aluminium channel
of 1 mm thickness or 9.5 x 9.5 mm pressed steel channel of minimum 0.45 mm thick galvanized
sheet. Self tapping screws shall be used for fixing bead or alternatively bead fixing can be done with
concealed screws. Back putty or ‘V’ shaped rubber channel wall be provided for glazing. No spring
glazing clip shall be required for bead glazing.

292
Fixing and Glazing of Metal ( Steel and Aluminium) Door, Window, and Ventilators
TYPE AND SIZE OF OPENINGS
Types of Openings - Metal doors, windows or ventilators may be required to be fixed to either
masonry openings (including brick, concrete, stone and marble) or timber openings or steelwork
openings.
Masonry openings - Masonry openings may be either rebated or flush, and in either case they
may either have external rendering applied or be ‘fair-faced’ (that is, without external rendering). It is
usual for stone and marble masonry to be fair-faced.
Timber Openings - Timber openings are invariably rebated.
Steelwork Openings - Steelwork openings vary in detailed design, but shall be so designed that
the outer flange of the door, window or ventilator frame sections overlaps a steel surface either
externally or internally.
Size of Openings - The overall size of both flush or rebated openings to which the units are to be
fixed shall allow a clearance between frame and opening, and the amount of clearance depends on
whether the opening is externally rendered or fair-faced.
Flush Openings - Rendered flush openings shall allow a clearance between frame and opening
equal to the thickness of the rendering.

293
Fair-faced flush openings shall allow a clearance of 3mm (or 1/8 in) between frame and opening.

Rebated Openings
a) Fair-faced masonry openings and timber openings shall allow a clearance of 3 mm (or 1/8
in) between the opening and the inner flange of the frame as well as between the opening
and the outer flange of the frames. The depth of rebate shall therefore be equal to the
distance between the inner and outer flanges of the door, window or ventilator frame. The
rebate shall be 12.5 mm (or 1/2 in) in the case of general building and industrial windows.

294
b) Rendered masonry openings shall allow a clearance of 3mm (or 1/8 in) between the opening
and the inner flange of the frame and a clearance equal to the thickness of the rendering
between the opening and the outer flange of the frame. The depth of rebate shall therefore
be adjusted accordingly.

Steelwork openings shall be designed to allow the outer flange of the window frame section to
overlap the steel surface by 10mm (or 3/8 in)

295
296
NOTE - The sizes of Indian Standard doors, windows and ventilators, both for general building and
industrial purposes, are designed for modular openings 12.5 mm (or 1/2 in) which are larger all
round than the doors, windows, etc. This gap of 12.5 mm (or 1/2 in) is for the purpose of fixing of the
units in the openings. In the case of masonry openings the gap is filled up with mastic cement and
plaster after the unit is in position. In the case of steel or timber modular openings, extra steel or
timber fillets will be necessary to cover this gap of 12.5 mm (or 1/2 in).
HANDLING OF DOORS, WINDOWS AND VENTILATORS
Care shall be taken in unloading and stacking windows and ventilators at site. They shall be examined
for any damage that may have occurred in transit and shall then be stacked upright (on their sills)
on level ground, preferably on wooden battens and shall not come into contact with dirt or ashes.
Doors shall be stacked upside down, with the kick plates at the top. Doors shall not be allowed to
stand for long the right way up before being fixed so as to avoid the doors getting out of true and the
hinges being strained and the shutters dropping.
Care shall be taken in ensuring that aluminium frames are not allowed to get into direct contact with
wet cement and mortar. During the period of storage, aluminium should be protected from loose
cement and mortar by means of suitable covering such as tarpaulin.
The tarpaulin should be hung loosely on temporary framing to permit circulation of air to prevent
condensation.

PROCEDURE FOR FIXING SINGLE UNITS

Doors, windows or ventilators shall be fixed into prepared openings. They shall not be built-in as the
walls go up as this practice often results in brickwork being brought right up to the frame with no
clearance allowed and usually distorts the units and increases the likelihood of damage being done
to the unit during subsequent building work. Placing of scaffolding on the frames or glazing bars
shall on account be done.
The size of the opening shall first be checked and cleaned of all obstructions. The position of the
unit in the reveal shall be taken off the drawings and a vertical chalk line shall be marked on the
reveal at the jams, using a plumb-line, at the correct distance from the face of the wall. This chalk
line shall also be run along head sill of the opening.

297
The fixing hole positions shall be taken from the unit and marked on this chalk line at the corresponding
points. In case of masonry, holes for fixing the lugs or holdfasts shall be cut 5 cm (or 2 in) square
and 5 cm to 10 cm (or 2 in to 4 in) deep, unless it is possible to put slotted lugs into joints in
brickwork. In the case of concrete or stone, fixing plugs are recommended to be embedded in the
masonry during construction at the appropriate places.
To ensure that all units are set at the appropriate heights in their openings, the datum line for the sill
of the door, window or ventilator shall be taken from a fixed point on the wall or from finished floor or
ceiling with the help of a level. The datum level for the sill of the door, window or ventilator unit shall
be given by the builder to the fixer.
Door, Window and Ventilator units shall be checked to ensure that they are square and working
satisfactorily. The unit shall then be set in its opening by using wooden wedges at jambs, head and
sill, and shall be plumbed to the line chalked round the reveal. A spirit level shall be used to ensure
that the frame is square and true and free from any warp and twist. When adjusting to the correct
line, the wedges shall be struck with the hammer, care being taken so as not to strike the frame.
The wedges shall not be inserted so firmly as to distort the frames, and wherever possible, they
shall be placed near the points where a glazing bar meets the frame.
The unit shall be put in position and the lugs screwed on tight. Every hole in the frame need not be
fixed with a lug; some holes are incidental to manufacture ( being guide holes for the welding jig )
and are not necessarily fixing holes. Lugs shall be placed in the specified positions.
The lugs shall then be grouted into their holes with cement mortar, and the wedges round the frame
shall be left in position until this cement has hardened and the lugs firmly set. The gap between unit
and surround shall then be filled with cement mortar while fixing to flush openings.
When fixing to flush surrounds without rendering, the 3 mm (or 1/8 in) clearance round the frame
shall be pointed with mastic on the outside. This mastic shall be applied after the unit has been
fixed into position and before the internal plaster is applied. The mastic shall be applied from inside,
squeezed into the channel of the frame until it oozes out through the narrower outside joint. The
internal gap shall be filled about one-third with mastic and rest of the space be filled with cement
mortar. The mastic shall then be cut off square outside and smoothed down.
When fixing to flush surrounds with internal plaster and rendering, the plaster and rendering shall
be applied to surrounds after the lugs have firmly set taking care to keep it clear of hinges and not
to bring it too close to the opening frame of casement. Hinges shall be wrapped in gunny to prevent
plaster from adhering to them or being splashed on them. Before applying the rendering, the joint of
unit and the mortar shall be pointed with mastic from the outside.
When fixing to rebated surrounds without rendering, the frame shall be bedded in mastic. This shall
be applied freely to the channel of the outside frame before offering it up to the rebated opening. In
the case of the sill the mastic shall be applied to the sill of the opening and the unit placed on it with
the other three sides ‘buttered’ with mastic. After the unit is firmly fixed in position, surplus mastic
shall be cut away and smoothed down.
When fixing to rebated surrounds with rendering, after fixing, plaster shall be applied on the outside.
The hinges shall be wrapped with gunny before plastering to prevent plaster form adhering to them
or being splashed on to them.
When fixing to concrete, lug may be used, but the reinforcing rods in the concrete usually prevent
the holes for the lugs being cut to the required depth. It is recommended to fix by wood screws into
plugs positioned in the concrete. These plugs may be wooden blocks set in the concrete when
pouring or casting; but these have to be set very accurately for the fixing holes in the unit.

298
In case the plugs could not be set in accurately, the fixer shall drill and plug the surrounds. White
metal plugs are recommended for this purpose from the point of view of efficiency in fixing.
Dresssed stone and marble surrounds shall be drilled and plugged for wood screws in the same
manner as given above.
Wood surrounds shall normally be rebated and when fixing to these mastic shall be applied to the
sill of the opening and the unit placed on it with the jambs and head buttered with mastic. This shall
be applied freely to the channel of the outside frame before offering it up to the rebated opening. The
unit shall be screwed with wood screws.
When fixing to steelwork, mastic shall be applied as described above and the unit shall be fixed
with special fixing clips supplied with the unit or with nuts and bolts.
The external doors normally have a threshold. When doors are required for internal use, the threshold
shall be substituted with a flat tie bar. In this case, the doors shutters shall be of usual size, but as
4 cm (or 1.5 in) finish has to be allowed for over the structural floor level, a special base tie bar shall
be fixed to the jamb member of the frame which projects below the finished floor.
NOTE :- Doors which are required for internal use are not required to have a threshold . This shall
be specified at the time of placing the order as substitution of a flat tie bar for threshold is not
possible after the door has been fixed.

299
In case of aluminiurn frames, the surface that will be anchored in direct contact with masonry
metaI or wood surrounds shall be protected with 2 coats of alkali-resistant bituminous paint, to
avoid direct chemical attack from alkaline or acid solutions formed by mositure and the surround-
ing materials.

All splatter and drips from wet cement and plaster during fixing of aluminium frames should be
removed immediately.

FIXING MATERIALS

The materials for fixing of doors, windows or ventilators to the surrounding shall be as given in
Table.

PROCEDURE FOR FIXING COMPOSITE UNITS

General - The fixing procedure for composite doors, windows and ventilators shall generally be
the same as described above and in addition shall conform to following provisions.

Where larger units are formed by coupling individual units altogether, the mullions and transomes
shall be bedded in mastic to ensure weather tightness. Mastic shall be applied liberally to the
channels of the outside frame sections before assembly, and the two units being coupled shall be
drawn together tight with clamps, the mastic being squeezed out and cut off neatly when the units
shall be screwed together tight.

300
301
302
Coupling screws vary in length for different type of coupling but manufacturers shall supply correct
sizes and quantities, if coupling requirements are detailed when ordering. A common fault is to use
coupling screws too long for the particular coupling and to leave a length of screw projecting through
the frame of the unit to interfere with the closing of the casement or with the glass of fixed light . The
offending length of screw shall be cut off, if this occurs.

If a composite unit is coupled in such a way that there is a cross joint of mullion with transome, the
shorter coupling unit shall run through unbroken. Mullions normally project 2.5 cm. (or 1 in) at head
and sill into the brick, stone or concrete surround. Fabricated steel mullions shall be cut short when
fixing to wood or steel surrounds or when meeting a continuous transome, so as to form a butt joint
and aluminium mullions shall be supplied with ends cut to profile of window frame.

Transomes shall be made to project 2.5 cm. (or 1 in) into brick, stone or concrete jambs, where the
transome is the member which runs through in broken in a cross coupling. Transomes may be cut
to match the outer or inner flange of the frame section, as appropriate, or cut to profile of the frame
section in the case of aluminium.

Pockets shall be cut in the surround to appropriate depth to take the projection of the coupling
member, when cutting holes for lugs.

Doors, windows and ventilators may have tubes as vertical coupling members to allow coupling at
any desired angle so as to form a bay composite unit. Standard galvanized iron pipes of nominal 25
or 32 mm (or 1 in or 1 ¼ in) inside diameter are suitable for this purpose . After carefully setting out
the unit to determine the exact angle required, the tube mullions shall be drilled and tapped with
holes to match the fixing holes in the door, window or ventilator frame. Tube mullions are normally
supplied by the manufacturer ready drilled and tapped and therefore full details of the setting out of
the bay shall be provided when ordering .

Caps and bases of steel plate of suitable thickness and area shall be welded to the top and bottom
of tube mullions where these are required to bear a load. Otherwise tube mullions are non-load
bearing and shall project 2.5 cm (or 1 in) at head and sill as given above.
Mastic shall be applied to tube mullions and the outside joints subsequently pointed .

FITTINGS AND HARDWARE

Any hardware, if fixed in position, shall be removed before fixing the unit in the surround and the
moving part shall be secured with wire or string during erection and while the building work is being
completed to prevent damage to the part.

Hardware shall be fixed as late as possible preferably just before the final coat of paint is applied. It
shall be fitted in a workmanlike manner, so that it may not work loose, and in such a way that
screws and pins are not marked and outilated by hammers and screw drivers. It shall be tested for
correct operation.

When side lung casement are fitted with friction hinges, the hinges shall be adjusted to the required
tension by adjusting the nuts on top and bottom hinges equally. If one hinge is tighter than the other
the casement may get twisted when opening or closing, and there is a consequent danger of
breakage of the glass panes.

303
The friction required depends on the location. In an exposed site where high winds are expected,
more friction is needed than in a sheltered location. For average conditions the normal setting of a
friction hinge requires a pressure of 10 kg/cm2 (or 14 lb/in2) to overcome it. Friction shall be measured
with gauges or judged. From time to time the nuts may require slight adjustment, but oil shall not be
used on friction hinges.

Whereas the friction hinges are the projecting type, the side hung casement may have ordinary
projecting type or non-projecting type hinges. The projecting type hinges project approximately 6.5
cm (or 2.5/8 in) and enable the outside surface of the glass panes to be cleaned from the inside. In
case of double shutter casements the outside surface of the glass can be cleaned even though the
hinges are not of the projecting type. But in the case of all other side hung casements protecting
hinges are necessary from the point of view of cleaning. The projecting hinges also enable the
opening shutter of door or window to fold back against the wall which is not possible with the non-
projecting type. In order to enable the door or window shutters to fold back, the doors or windows
shall be set in the reveal as shown below.

304
GLAZING
Before glazing, all opening parts shall be checked to see that they are closing correctly and are well
bedded and not twisted in any way.

The weight of glass in a side hung casement causes it to drop slightly on its hinges. Before glazing,
therefore, the casement shall be set in a slightly high position in its frame. The glass shall also be
set slightly out of square in the frame, that is, high and towards the outside (handle) jamb. This can
be effected by using little springs of wood to wedge the glass at certain points.

In case of newly galvanized doors, windows or ventilators not exposed to the weather for at least
three months, difficulty may be experienced when glazing as the putty may fail to stick to the
frames. To overcome this, a thin film of raw linseed oil shall be applied to the glazing rebate with
cloth soaked in linseed oil.

The frame shall he completely cleaned and bedding putty shall be placed in the rebate before
glazing. Glass shall then be cushioned into this bedding putty properly and shall be fronted with
front putty which shall stop 2 to 3 mm (or 1/16 to 1/8 in) from the sight line of the back rebate to
enable the painting to be done up to the sight line, to seal the edge of the putty to the glass. The
back putty which has oozed out over the glazing rebate shall then be cut off square and smoothed
down. This back putty is necessary as apart from preventing contact of the glass with the steel at
any point; it will also prevent glass rattle and the ingress of moisture which may corrode the steel
frame.

For doors and windows where pane size exceeds 60 x 30 cm (or 24 x 12 in) glass shall be secured
by special spring glazing clips which shall be inserted in holes already provided in the steel doors or
windows before applying the front putty.

For outside glazed windows where pane sizes do not exceed 60 x 30 cm (or 24 x 12 in) spring
glazing clips are not considered necessary.

When glazing very large panes of glass, or when heavy wind pressure may be experienced or in
any case where specially desired by the user, glazing bead may be used instead of front putty.

305
When glazing with bead instead of front putty, putty shall be applied to the face of the bead which is
in contact with glass, and back putty would also be necessary.
Beads shall be of durable timbers of Class I and Class II specified in IS : 401-1954 of rustproof steel
or of aluminium. The bead shall have mitred corners.
The position and size of the bead may depend on the thickness of glass used. The based shall be
fixed with screws spaced not more than 10 cm (or 4 in) from each corner and not more than 20 cm
(or 8 in) apart and the doors or windows shall be drilled during manufacture with holes accordingly.
The standard sections for domestic and industrial windows are not suitable for double-glazing
units, which require deeper rebates and glazing nibs. Special frames or special inserts for standard
frames shall be used in such cases.

FINISHING
The site finishing of doors, windows and ventilators shall assure two purposes
a) protection of the metal ( in the case of ungalvanized material ), and
b) decoration of the assembly ( for both galvanized and ungalvanized material
Site finishing shall consist of the application of an undercoat and a finishing coat of paint, after any
necessary touching up. In the case of aluminium frames site painting is not necessary.
In the case of ungalvanized surfaces, the undercoat need not necessarily contain rust inhibitive
ingredients as it is not in direct contact with the steel. It shall however be highly resistant to moisture
and to physical and chemical disintegration by the weather, and compatible with the priming coat
used by the manufacturer. Lead-based paints are generally suitable, but in case of doubt the
manufacturer shall be consulted.
The final finishing coat, chosen to suit the decorative scheme shall also conform to the above
composition to a lesser degree. It shall be a tough, hard, smooth paint designed for external use,
and compatible with the undercoat.
In the case of galvanized surfaces, the primary consideration for the undercoat is to obtain good
adhesion. Adhesion to newly galvanized work is difficult to obtain, and consequently natural and
chemical etching or the application of a suitable primer shall be carried out before applying finishing
coats. Natural etching is achieved by weathering for several months before painting. The main
disadvantage here is being able to judge when the frames have been sufficiently weathered.
Chemical etching is achieved by treating with a copper free mordant solution; these mordants are
usually based on phosphoric acid. The main disadvantage of this method is entrapment of mordant
solution in crevices where it can destroy the coating and even promote corrosion. The safest
method is by application of a primer based on calcium plumbate, where all that is necessary is to
clean down (normal practice) before applying the paint. The calcium plumbate content of the pigment
in such a primer shall be not less than 70 percent. The final finishing coat on galvanized work shall
be similar to that specified for ungalvanized surfaces coats of paint and shall be dry and hard
before painting. It is advisable to carry the paint slightly beyond the edge of the putty-glass junction
line to be certain of sealing the junction line.
On no account shall non-ferrous parts, that is, handles, stays, catches, etc, be painted. Paint shall
not be applied to working parts, such as handle pins, hinge pins, etc, where it can impede free
action.

Glass and Allied Products
Types of Glass
1. Flat drawn sheet glass - This is the most commonly used glass for engineering purposes.
This type of glass has fire finished surface and as the two surfaces are never parallel, there
is always a certain degree of distortion of vision and reflection. This type of glass is
manufactured in the following thicknesses :
Thickness in mm (From IS : 1761-1961)
2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 5.5 and 6.5
2. Fluted sheet glass - Fluted sheet glass is a clear sheet glass, one surface of which is
slightly fluted. Sheet glass is also classified as below :
(i) Ordinary Glazing Quality (O.Q.) - used for general glazing,
(ii) Selected Glazing Quality (S.Q.) - a quality better than O.Q. and
(iii) Special Selected Quality (S.S.Q.) - used for very high grade work such as cabinet
glazing, etc.
3. Plate glass - It is stronger than sheet glass and also more transparent. It is made in
thicknesses varying from 3 to 32 mm (approximately). It is ground and polished.
Polished plate glass is also classified as below
(i) G.G. Quality - Standard quality for show cases, shop fronts, shelves, etc.
(ii) S.G. Quality - Standard quality for mirrors.
(iii) S.Q. Quality - A very high quality for large or special mirrors and other special
purposes.
4. Wired glass - Wired glass is made with welded wire mesh embedded in its body to prevent
it from shattering. It is available in 6.5 mm thickness.
5. Laminated safety glass - Two or more plates of glass with inter layers of tough transparent
plastics are bounded tightly together with the aid of heat and pressure so that even though
laminated plate is broken, practically no part of the glass will fly off; and no sharp splinters or
cutting edges will be exposed to inflict injuries. This type of glass is available in many
thicknesses.
6. Insulating glass - Insulating glass is frequently set in windows to prevent heat losses. This
glass consists of two or more hermetically sealed sheets, separated by 6 to 12 mm of
dehydrated air.
7. Obscured glass - Many types of glass are produced for use where light is to be transmitted
but vision obscured; as in office doors, partitions and public toilets. The following are the
main types
(i) patterned or figured glass.
(ii) Ground glass,

 SINTEX PLASTIC SECTIONS
RANGE : Sintex Sections are broadly classified into two categories. The first category comprises
various general purpose sections either foamed or unfoamed with a tongue & groove arrangement
which can be converted into products not possible with normal boards, panels & plywood. The
second category comprises specialised sections for conversion into doors, windows & frames. By
proper combinations they can even be used for making partitions, false ceilings, wall panellings,
cabins, furniture items etc. The following table shows the details of the above referred sections:

Installation of plastic windows shall be done as given below.

Sintex windows can be fixed in two ways :
Special expandable fasteners for fixing the windows to the wall opening. The expandable fastener
consists of a shank, sleeve, wedge and a nut.
A matching hole has to be made from the outer frame to the wall. The fastener is then put in the
hole and tightened. On tightening the screw, the sleeve expands and provides a firm grip in the wall.
The second way of fixing is with a bracket. One end of the bracket is fixed to the outer frame; the
slots on the other end help in fixing the bracket to the wall. The exposed part of the bracket can then
be covered by means of plaster. Finally a polymeric sealant is applied along the periphery.
