I had a '51 Ford convertible with factory windshield washers; plastic bag with pedal pump on floorboard. I believe the '49-'50 Fords used a glass bottle. However, I believe what your friend has is the water/alcohol injection system. Ed Almquist "invented" the system in the late 40s and sold many through his Almquist Engineering Catalogs. I can remember them clearly and they did use a glass bottle. Like others have said, water injection was used in WW-II planes so he didn't actually invent the idea, only a system for the automobile. Interestingly, if you go to e-bay, you will find many, many water injection systems for modern automobiles. That was a surprise to me. I was able to find various pictures of Almquist catalogs but not a picture of the water injector. This page gives an idea of the type of automotive speed accessories he was known for.
