Gerd,
I know you're not backward in coming forward but this time you're way too far forward.
You'll need to come back inside the ZIS as I believe Jerry is referring to the radio grill. And because of it's style it's referred to as a "Waterfall grill". In this age of acronyms, abbreviations and allusions it's often hard to keep up with terminology. Now go to it! Hit us with some ZIS radio grill pic's please.

BTW I never heard before waterfall associated with the so-called tombstone design but it sounds appropriate. On second thought, if I didn't know better, I'd say it is a sinister omen to call the radiator waterfall. Well, tombstone is not an awful lot better.
