Temples are the ''arms'' on eyeglasses. They're also called sides, bows, ear pieces, and sometimes even legs. There are two basic styles. The most modern style is called a ''skull temple'' and that's the kind with the paddles at the ends like most all glasses made today. They're called skull, paddle, or even hockey ends. Many old frames have what are called ''cable temples'', which are the kind that wrap around behind the ear. Cable temples are also called wrap temples, curl sides and I keep hearing the term riding bows. In both kinds of temples, there are several different hinge styles, blade sizes and, of course, lengths, usually from 5 1/2 inches (130 mm) up to a very long 7 inches (175 mm). All temples are measured as though they were straightened out. For more details about measuring temples, please see How to Measure for Vintage Eyeglasses. Note that all temple installations typically will require fine-tuning and adjustment.
