Abstract: A hung egress window allows the operable lower sash to travel a greater distance relative to a prior art hung window in order to give more clear space height for a given size window. This additional travel distance is achieved by lowering the location of the top rail of lower sash to be substantially below the bottom rail of the upper sash except where the seating flange of the top rail seats within a gasket lined seating pocket of the bottom rail of the upper sash. Additionally, the profile of the sill is lowered so that a portion of the flanges of the glazing pocket of the lower sash visibly extend above the sill.

Abstract: A U-shaped sheet metal brazing shim for disposition within a groove in a drill bit body to encircle the edge area of a plate-type cutting insert. Brazing alloy is provided to form bonds between the shim and opposed surfaces on the cutting insert and drill bit body. Closely spaced holes extend across essentially the entire surface of the metal sheet to provide thermal stress relief within the brazed joint. Border areas of the sheet are left unperforated so that edges of the sheet are relatively smooth and free of sharp projections that could cut into a person's hand while the shim is being handled or repositioned.
