Abstract
A system and apparatus for construction interior glass partitions in a double butt joint glass T-connection using a generally U-shaped horizontal track profile pre-scored lengthwise with a frangible line to provide for portions of the side walls to be easily cut and removed for insertion of a ninety-degree return track element. The system and method make T-connections of double glass partitions economical to fabricate and install.
