Hello,
Thanks to Bryan, William and John for input.  Below is a cumulative list
from investigations so far.  As for sizes:  19 at 9x12, 19 at
7-3/4x9-7/8 and 22 at 9-7/8x17-7/8 or any of those quantities I can get.
The project is primarily an exterior lead abatement, but there is an
allowance for window repairs.  The church underwent a major interior
restoration in 1975 under the guidance of a well known Boston
Conservator.   All the decorative painting is wonderful, but compromises
were made on the windows and hence the spring loaded tube thingies.   As
a minimum we need to make every other window operable.

William, give a call regarding a meeting time for the survey stuff at
United for next week.
Thanks,
Best,
Leland

I worked on windows with the spring loaded rope and weights replacements
a long time ago.  The fix was to restore the weights and cords. On
