A modified version of the 1938 tube stock used on the Northern Line was built with larger windows extending upwards into the roof, known as the "Crystal Palace" stock presumably due to the big expanse of glass.I remember seeing a train including the Crystal Palace stock at Morden tube station in the late 1970's.
