Default Re: Those junky Vacuum Wipers on my T Bird

I have vacuum wipers on three cars.
The F1 has all original stuff, except the blades, according to the original owner.
They work great! I like the way I can run them real slow when it’s misting.

One night I took the family to a model T Club dinner in Sa Jose, about 30 miles each. Way.
We took the ‘29 Nash.
Just as we left home it started to rain. The single wiper refused to move. I had to run it by hand. It rained all the time, both ways. I sure got tired reaching up there turning the hand lever back and forth.
When we got home it was still raining so I left the car outside.
When I got up the next morning the car was fairly dry so I put it in the shed.
As soon as I started the motor that stupid wiper went back and forth so fast I thought it would surely throw the blade off.
