Cat's Eyes
Cat's eyes, in their original form, consist of two pairs of reflective glass spheres set into a white rubber dome, mounted in a cast iron housing. They are generally more durable than Botts' dots (they are snowplough safe) or other forms of markers and also come in a variety of colors. They have enjoyed widespread usage in the British Isles and elsewhere around the world.

Find old books here,
And new books, too,
Old eyes renew....”
