A further object is to provide a partition which will afford the employees positioned on one side thereof, means to view so much of the space or room, and of the person on the other side thereof, asis necessary to enable said employees to intelligently and expeditiously perform any and all duties incumbent on or desirable for them to perform, while protected as recited. A further object is to obtain a partition which is economically made and installed, of good appearance, durable, and the movable members associated therewith are readily understood and easily operated.
In the drawing referred to Fig. 1 is a front elevation of aportion of a partition and of a movable member associated with and forming a part thereof:
Fig. 2 is a vertical section of said portion of the partition, on line 22 of Fig. 1, viewed as indicated by arrows.

The object of this is that a person in front of the table will not be able to removethe drawer and obtain a view of the persons and things in the rear of the partition. The drawer is also provided with the downwardly extending flanges 15, 16'at its ends, to limit the sliding movement thereof on the table 4, said downwardly extending flanges coming in contact with the front and rear faces of the partition, respectively, as the drawer'is moved to the limit of itstravel.
The vision directing means, 12, 13, are intended for the protection of the employee who has occasion to use the apertures 11, 12, to view the contents of the drawer 7, or the face of the person in front of the partition who desires to use said drawer. The bottom, top and sides of saidvision directing means flare outwardly toward the rear from apertures 10, 11, so the employee at the rear of the partition can readily look through said vision directing means and apertures; and said apertures and vision directing means are sopositioned that a person in front of the partition cannot observe the position or person to the rear of the partipermit a person standing on a determined side of saidpartition to view the interior of said drawer through said additional aperture when said drawer is on the opposite side of said partition. p
