THE FLOOR OF THE CHANNEL IS PROVIDED WITH A WATER RUNOFF SLOT BENEATH WHICH THERE IS POSITIONED A DUCT FOR RECEIVING WATER FLOWING THROUGH THE SLOT. THE DUCT HAS A BOTTOM WALL WHICH IS INCLINED DOWNWARDLY TOWARD THE EXTERIOR SIDE OF THE FRAME SO THAT WATER WILL DRAIN FROM THE DUCT THROUGH AN OPENING PROVIDED IN SAID EXTERIOR SIDE.
