Which completely explains why there has been one new window installed at The Plow and 21c for a long time.

I'm sure it was to get the needed approval, then the larger order was placed. Interesting stuff.
When OCU was restoring the old Central High School...they replaced all the windows, (other than the leaded glass windows over the doors)...and they had to use exact replicas of the old windows, but the first ones they ordered did not meet specifications for the historical site as the pitch of the window sill was off by a couple of degrees So they had to send those back and get order new ones with the right pitch.
