	I wondered the same!  Could it be something for security?  If that was
the money room behind, it could be one of those roll down security
fences.

	I count 12 *panes* (a real pain to model) in the upper sash in the
*West View Park* ad-photo at SHJ!
	But I count 9 panes in http://www.voicenet.com/~dietrich/SHJ/noroof.htm
as well as in http://www.voicenet.com/~dietrich/SHJ/shjadmin.htm and
also in http://www.voicenet.com/~dietrich/SHJ/admin2.htm (and this photo
was used on the cover of an issue of ERA *HEADLIGHTS* - but I can't find
my copy now!)

	How about getting someone else to model the tunnel - it would be one of
the rare places where the model can travel a truly scale distance!
