I may very well be completely wrong about the origins of the "Toploader".

Toploader was the replacement for the B-W T-10, I believe.

I was told by someone it was a B-W design, and that Ford took over manufacture for cost, supply and quality reasons. Half remembered Hearsay on my part.

I appologize for propigating cr*p, if that's what I did. Dunno.

I'll take it back.
