Carriage window opening system. The sash type window is raised and lowered by use of the leather strap. It takes some juggling as the not insubstantial weight of the window needs to be eased upwards to take the strain off the leather belt, so as to unhook it. Once in the desired place the window's weight must again be held whilst hooking the belt in place. IOW Steam Railway.
