That was a new construction window which is not the subject at hand.
Old wood casement windows could be either swing in or swing out. You don't see wood SI casements these days because they leak. But the RO was different for each. My biggest problem replacing original wood sash casements was retro fitting with a historically correct window when the old casement had already been taken out in favor of a 60's and 70's AL insert window.
Architectural standards today call for RO's to be nominal, e.g., even numbers in 6 inch increments starting at 12". Some of the old line companies are not in step.

Milt, that's great info, but I think that info may confuse the OP more then he wanted to know.
