30. WINDOW GLASS
Much of the window glass, manufactured and installed
many years ago, has become warped. It would be considered
inferior in quality to the window glass which is manufactured
today, due to the technological advances which have been made
in the glass manufacturing industry. Upon replacement of
some of this glass throughout the various portions of the
Executive Mansion it was found to be highly fragile.
All the old type window glass throughout the buildings
should be replaced with one-quarter inch thickness, tempered
window glass. The following tabulation indicates the lo-
cations where it is most important to make replacements of
the old window glass. However, in such locations as the
second floor of the Executive Mansion, and the President's
Office in the Executive Office Building, complete replace-
ment with one-quarter inch, tempered glass should be made,
regardless of the conditions of the existing glass.
A. EXECUTIVE MANSION
(1) Ground, First, Second, and Third Floors
(a) Replace all old type window glass.
B. EXECUTIVE OFFICE BUILDING
(1) First Floor
(a) Replace existing window glass in the
President's Office.
31. ELEVATORS
Present Passenger Elevator, Executive Mansion. -
The present installation has been inspected and found to be
rugged, oversize, and reasonably safe for service require-
ments. The operating mechanism, cables, safety devices,
alarm, and structural supports are all in good condition. The
only variations from safe practices noted were the use of
glass in the door and in the interior of the cab, together
with the semi-open top type cab. The entire installation
was in good order and well maintained. It is inspected each
week by District Elevator Inspector, each month by the
Federal Works Agency and a twenty-four hour watch is main-
tained by the House Electricians. Major maintenance is
done by the Otis Elevator Company. The car gate operating
mechanism, together with the gate latch and contact mechanism,
