Easting

I'm not entirely sure, but it might refer to a brand of windscreens for sidecars. From The Motor Cycle, 14th April 1921.

    I used to have something similar that was colloquially referred to as Bunty's weather warrior , very useful for solo use during foul weather- byJove .
    Can't remember the maker though , might have had it made by my saddler - eh what .Last I saw of it some rustic wretch had purloined it for his tractor - bloody scoundrel .
    Your servant
    Bunty, etc.

    1. Bunty found it. Here's a shorter link to Easting windshields. What an amazing gizmo. You could get them for your rumble seat, too.
