Why lead came is a structure
The lead network grips every glass edge and carries the panel, so the line is a frame.
When the purchase is complete, return to the original window. It will refresh.
From the opening
Lead came is a structure because the H-shaped strip holds the edge of each piece of glass and the soldered joints tie those strips into one lattice. The dark line in the design is the frame the panel hangs from, not a mark drawn on an otherwise solid sheet. The opening covers the H-channel grips each edge, soldered joints tie the lattice, and lead creeps unless bars help.
The rest of the brief — the later sections and the reading notes — opens after Stripe confirms payment.
