Leads in the lead-light, Explanation: Well, cañuela is a reed, (and Marcus a kind of fescue), but I think we go back to my previous answer: and I'm more certain now. NO, EUREKA, take a look at this: http://mx.geocities.com/drak_vitrales/laton.htm "Estos Vitrales estan armados con una cañuela de latón lo que le da una gran resistencia, por lo que son los más usados en puertas ya que estas tienden a ser azotadas. Otra característica de los Vitrales Latonados es que la cañuela es de color dorado por lo que combinan muy bien con la madera. El latón tiene la desventaja de ser muy poco maleable, por lo que los Vitrales elaborados en esta técnica deben ser de diseños simples. El latón tiene otra desventaja, se oxida y se pone verde con el tiempo, aun que esta desventaja se a superado al encapsular los Vitrales al vacío, lo que lo hace más resitente y sirve como aislante del sonido" It's the "leading", the metal that joins the sections of glass protecting the lamp or gas mantle. In the web reference the stained glass maker uses brass instead of the more usual lead which is softer and easier to work. |

Lead, or beading Explanation: sorry I should have put my previous answer in the singular. Chambers 20th Century gives: lead: a leaden frame for a window-pane. I can't find any synonym in English: anyone else had any joy? Beading: the lightweight wooden moulding between panes of glass in a window. |

came Explanation: Jenette sorry to be boring, it's me again, but I've found the technical word in English for cañuela - it's "came", see the reference below. Too recondite for most situations, so I'd use the word "lead" which everyone (?) will understand, but it's nice to know the "real McCoy". http://www.thestorefinder.com/wwwboard/messages/12768.html "Repair of Lead Came Stained Glass Window" |
