Quick action screens clamped to body while painting the window reveals.
Automotive Industries October 19, 1929
"Finishing the window reveals is a job that requires considerable preparatory work largely due to the necessity of masking adjacent painted surfaces. A common method is to cover finished surfaces with paper. Naturally, this requires great care and time. Now Durant points the way to putting this kind of work on a production basis. There have been designed the frames shown here which are attachable by means of quick-acting clamps. This eliminates practically all set-up time."
