The H shape may be formed of two parallel leaf sections connected via a central heart portion. There may be a plurality of hard metalled cores which contact the heart and are comprised of steel. In use the came has reduced movement and increased life span and durability compared to traditional cames. The wedge core enables the glass pane 4 to go deeper within the lead while maintaining a core thickness comparable to traditional cames.
