It will also be understood 'that whereas y the foot treadle within reach of the oflicial stationed at4 the paying window serves as a convenient means of releasing vthe protective devices, this feature is subject tomodification to suit the location lof the window or the dutiesof the -oicial, the several positionswhich he may occupy in the discharge of his duties when subject to attack and the like, and owing to the plane of operation of the protective curtain .or shield it Ywill be seen thatit not only serves tofiiiterpose a bullet proof obstacle between -the assailant and his intended victim, but cuts off access from the Y ness of the institution. v
