Abstract
An apparatus is disclosed for correcting misalignment problems in a casement window. An adjustment stud is included in an improved casement window unit. The adjustment stud includes a tenon mounted on a track assembly and a post to which a sash arm is rotatably attached. The tenon and post are eccentric with respect to one another. When alignment problems occur the central axis of the post may be rotated about the central axis of the tenon to a desired orientation such that the alignment problem is corrected.
