2. Tilter shall be a sealed housing with lubricated worm and gear mechanism to prevent wear,

3. Tilt Wand shall be solid, clear, transparent with a round fluted cross section ¥inch in diameter with 6 grooves for non-slip grip.

4. Cord Lock shall be clear polycarbonate casing with steel shields and brass rollers. It shall be a crash-proof type with sufficient sensitivity to lock slats at desired height upon release of cords.

5. Drum and cradle shall be provided for each ladder.
   a. Drums shall be engineering polymer providing secure attachment for both ladder ends.
   b. Cradles shall be of engineering polymer with a steel pin to to guide cords through bottom of headrail without abrasion. They shall provide bearing support for the tilt rod, thus preventing the weight of the blind from being transferred to the tilter. Cradles shall center drums over ladder openings.

6. Tilt rod shall be flat shaped, with a thickness of approximately 150 inch designed to achieve minimum torsional deflection

7. When Box Brackets are used: End Braces shall be of 036 inch thick galvanized or zinc plated steel. End braces shall incorporate a field adjustable tab to ensure secure installation, center blind in window, and prevent lateral movement.
