All this reminds me of that electic car they invented with a 500 mile
range. The car was only $700. However the 500 mile long extension cord,
a required option, was $25000.

Hi,
Hm, what's a wind-up window? Best windows are of course the opening
kind ;-) (I mean the normal ones, err, the most common ones, err, or
is it otherwise in your country <g>, the ones which open to the
outside or inside completely)
In World of Mike car windows have a metal lip on the top which his
chauffeur
uses to pull the window down, and push it up again. Rather like the
windows
on steam locomotive doors.
Some cars apparently now have a winding mechanism based on cogs and
wires. Mike is referring to this.
Rumour has it that one day even these may be replaced by a small motor
powered by Mr. Faraday's "electricity", with a switch near the chauffeur
which will permit him to control the fenestral uppage and downage from
his
driving position.
I suppose you've got one of those infernal combustion engines instead of
a proper one with the flames on the outside, making steam as God
intended. No good will come of it, I tell you.....
