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.....
