[SOC] Two Way Mirror

[Paul Bartlett]

Does this not simply indicate whether the mirror is silvered on the front or
the back surface of the substrate? It may well be that all mirrors that are
two way are silvered on the front surface (and I'm not convinced of that),
but I don't think it's necessarily true that all front silvered mirrors are
two way.

To quote Monty Python: "The universal affirmative is only partially
invertible...."
