I just noticed a westy window has the latch at the middle of the sliding
glass part and not at the forward corner, like a non-westy.
And there's room for a screen.
I have at least one for sale, in Oregon.

The 60/40 split westy windows are available on thesamba all the time
for $50 to $75 each. There was a guy in Toronto selling a pair for $10
each (Canadian) but he carted them off to the dump a month ago because
he had the ad up a year and no one wanted them.
