The side hems were sewn by hand to stop them from fraying. Brass pins were fixed into each end of the wooden roller and the roller blind was fixed to the wall by means of small brass flanges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Scotch Holland fabric continued to be manufactured in Scotland using traditional methods until the 1980s.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The \u2018spring roller window shade\u2019 was invented in the USA in the 1800s. The original design was patented by the father, uncle and brother of Stewart Hartshorn, who, together with his father, started the Stewart Hartshorn Company. This company initially manufactured the \u2018spring roller window shades\u2019 in New York, moving production to East Newark, New Jersey in 1872.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"img-1362140838603\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"http:\/\/insyncsolar.com\/Staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/joanna%20cloth-resized-600.jpg\" alt=\"joanna cloth resized 600\" border=\"0\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"img-1362140629343\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"http:\/\/insyncsolar.com\/Staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/19320007.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In 1864, Stewart Hartshorn patented an improved design using a ratchet and gravity pawl. This spring roller window shade was the forerunner of today\u2019s roller shades as it used a spring mechanism to allow fabric to be rolled up or down. The spring roller window shade became very popular in America and several other production plants were opened in the early twentieth century.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/insyncsolar.com\/Staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/victorian-london-england.jpg\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"img-1362070551542\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-197\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" title=\"victorian-london-england\" src=\"http:\/\/insyncsolar.com\/Staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/victorian-london-england.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"482\" height=\"347\"><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Meanwhile, in Victorian England, the \u2018Tidmarsh Patent Action Spring Roller\u2019 for roller shades was patented by the British company, Tidmarsh, in the 1880s. Today, the company still exists and uses the neile mechanism for historically authentic roller blinds used in National Trust properties and other historic buildings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">No doubt you are familiar&nbsp;with the standard shade clutch control by Rollease. If you are familier then you know how difficult it is to pull the shade up and down and how many repairs you will have to make to fix the broken clutch or cord. That is because there is no additional assist like we have in our InSync LiteLife System. We have even had clients pull their shade and instead of the fabric coming down, the entire shade has ripped out of the wall; this is just unacceptable. Below is an example of the typical clutch control.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 301px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"http:\/\/insyncsolar.com\/Staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/RGAL400W.1.jpg\" alt=\"RGAL400W.1\" width=\"301\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now that you&#8217;re ready to drop that dysfunctional standard shade clutch, please let me introduce you to our newest and most exciting innovative product for manual shade control called; InSync <a href=\"\/insynccontrols\/lite-lift\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">LiteLift<\/span><\/a> by <a href=\"\/insynccontrols\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">InSync Controls.&nbsp;<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a href=\"\/insynccontrols\/lite-lift\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"http:\/\/insyncsolar.com\/Staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/manual-controls.jpg\" alt=\"manual-controls\"><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">InSync LiteLift provides a smooth constant effortless lift of all size shades with finger tip control.
