1968 Carlite vs Herculite Glass

[stangfan]

I noticed today that all of the glass on my GT/CS is the original Carlite, with the exception of the left wing window. It has the name Herculite etched? into it. I assume that that window was replaced for whatever reason, but the brand name puzzles me. Has anyone heard of Herculite?
