glass for windshields

[rob love]

Any glass I have had cut from AS1, the glass place applies an acid etch of the AS1 marking. Not a big deal and it does not cost extra if done at the time of cutting.

Short side story.

With the Iltis, we used to have to order the glass from the depot (Edmonton in the case of the Western Army). You would always order 2 or 3, or even 5 because half of them were going to show up broken anyway. If you ordered 5, then they might sandwich it in plywood, or even a re-usable crate. I ended up putting in a TFR with the suggestion that the glass simply be made a KM (procure locally) item, since we could get them cut just as cheaply downtown, and without all the breaking and loss. This was adopted. Somewhere along the line I think someone else did a TFR to get it back to national stock, likely because you could not buy AS1 in downtown Bosnia. The pendulum swings.
