Ventipane

A sliding bolt latch is attached to the ventiplane window to engage the vertical window guide, preventing the window from being forced open from the outside.

The first job assigned to the robot was to remove the castings of small “ventipane” car windows from the dies, check them by holding them up to a feeler switch, and then drop them on a conveyor belt.

The “Ventipane,” a wide air vent just ahead of the windshield that opened from inside the passenger compartment, caused this.
