WIND SCREEN WIPERS.

From our tests so far we should say the most satisfactory wind screen wiper is the Bosch electrical. This wiper has run recently 11,000 miles on 18-EX and 10,000 miles on 14-G-4.

As regards the Lucas wiper. This is being fitted on to the next car going to France. We will let you have a report in due course.
