Iron turn, a piece of iron, two or three inches long, with a square hole at one end, which works on another piece of iron, of about the same length, fixed in the wall like the hook of a strap hinge, by means of two projecting studs. The lower part of this hook is square, so as to fit the square hole in the iron turn ; and the upper part is cjMindri- cal, so as to allow the turn, when lifted up, to move round upon it. Hence, to fasten back a shutter, the turn must be slipped on the square part of the hook, where it will remain fixed ; and, to relieve the shutter, the turn nuist be slipped up, so that it may move round on the cylindrical part. In the accompanying figure, a is the shutter ; b, the turn ; c, the pin on which the turn moves ; and d d, the two irons into which the latter is riveted, and which are leaded into the wall.
