My grandfather had a jeep with "isinglass" windows. They were simply flexible windows made of a plastic like substance. They were all called isinglass in the old days. I also worked on a loading dock that had "isinglass curtains" that kept the cold air outside, but allowed us to see out. Same stuff! Nuff said, the old timers know better.OldQueerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12253518854784763408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8937414969460147900.post-63560441750302776642015-03-25T04:25:08.461-07:002015-03-25T04:25:08.461-07:00Well, I'm experimenting.
