Abstract

An auxiliary control system is provided for a retractable covering for architectural openings which includes a pair of confronting flexible sheets of material interconnected at vertically spaced locations by horizontally extending flexible vanes which are movable between open and closed positions by relative vertical movement of said sheets. The auxiliary control system adapted to grip said flexible sheets of material to move said sheets in relative vertically directions regardless of the degree of extension of the retractable covering across an architectural opening.
