vox Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 On the side of the table in my local club. Low Frost Proof Cushions ! Are these low cushions which are frost proof, or ordinary cushions which are frost proof to a low temperature. Either way - why ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way - why ? "Once again John Thurston was the first billiard table maker to use vulcanised rubber for billiard table cushions, this being in 1845 when he had obtained Letters Patent for this improvement. One of the first tables to be so fitted was for Queen Victoria's Billiard Table at Buckingham Palace and the new so called "Frost Proof" cushions were also fitted to a rather special billiard table which still stands in Queen Victoria's summer residence, Osborne House, on the Isle-of-Wight" http://www.snookerheritage.co.uk/normans-articles/days-of-old/billiard-cushions/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
