I remember a tiny Lancia Y10 I had years ago also had electric windows
like that. A rather nice "show-off" gadget. This thread is getting
rather anorackky, isn't it !

So what was the usual way to electrically control quarterlight windows?

Kevin,

I have tried to get info, and have come across the owners manual. It
doesn't say what the mechanical design is though.

Kevin, at the risk of sounding flippant, the "usual way to electrically control the quarterlight windows" on the Lancia was to press the ruddy electric switch ! However, to be a bit more helpful, I remember that there was a very small servo motor on each window, resembling a slightly more bulky set-up than the Leyland Sherpa manual versions found in Bristols. They worked well.

Here's a picture of the Lancia; hinged window at the front, motor halfway up at the rear.

I took your criticisms to heart and reworked the Brabazon, especially in proportions. I hope you will find it more Bristol than Pixar!
