The Swish of the Curtain is a children s novel by Pamela Brown writer Pamela Brown 1924 1989 . It was begun in 1938 when the author was 14 but was not published until 1941. Plot summary It tells the story of seven young people in three different families who form an amateur theatrical group, the Blue Door Theatre Company. The children write, produce, direct and act in their own plays, each of them harnessing a particular talent. Nigel designs scenery, for example Jeremy composes music while Sandra makes costumes. During the course of the book, each of the young people realises a particular ambition. It is Bulldog , who shines in comic roles, who realises his ambition to create the elusive swish of the curtain . At the book s climax, the Blue Doors enter a drama contest which they have to win in order to be allowed to attend dramatic school to realise their dream of a career in the professional theatre . The series Brown wrote four sequels Maddy Alone 1945 Golden Pavements 1947 Blue Door Venture 1949 Maddy Again 1956 Publication Until recently The Swish of the Curtain was the only one of the Blue Doors series to have been republished after the 1970s. However, The Swish of the Curtain 2006 , Maddy Alone 2007 and Golden Pavements 2009 have been republished by Longwater Books, suggesting that affordable reprints of the remaining two titles might be available in the future. As the remaining titles have not been published for many years, original copies of the 1940s editions are now quite valuable. Copies of the books are very rare, and very hard to find.

Air Curtain can mean An Air door air curtain is an electric powered fan device used for separating two environments from each other. Air Curtains are utilized when a barrier is needed across an opening, and when reducing energy costs is desired. Some applications include customer entryways, air plane hangers, cargo doors, drive through windows, restaurant doors, or shipping receiving doors. The air stream the air curtain places accross the opening creates an invisible barrier to contain an air conditioned space and reduce infiltration. Typically, an air curtain can pay for intself in one to two years by reducing the load on the building s heating or air conditioning system. Usually, there is a mechanism, such as a door switch, to turn the unit on and off as the door opens and closes, so the Air Curtain only operates when the door is open. Heated Air curtains are commonly used when supplemental heat is needed for a space, and to reduce the wind chill factor across the opening in colder climates. Air Curtains work best when the pressure differential between the inside and outside of the building is as close to neutral as possible. Negative pressures, extreme temperature differences, elevators in close proximity, or extreme humidity can reduce the effectiveness of Air Curtains. http en.wikipedia.org wiki Ashrae ASHRAE American Society of Heating Refrigeration Air conditioning Engineers defines an Air Curtain as In its simplest application, an air curtain is a continuous broad stream of air circulated across a doorway of a conditioned space.
