| To: Gry{Shadwell Grylls} c: LS McF Dor{Mr Dorey} -> JPB GF SB{Mr Bull/Mr Bannister} DP WINDSCREEN WASHERS - SY2 One snag with all current windscreen washers is the difficulty of ensuring that the fluid strikes the correct part of the windscreen at all road speeds and with various cross-winds. Could we not arrange for the nozzle to be mounted on the wiper arm? This would allow the jet to strike the glass just ahead of the blade and would ensure optimum usage of the available water. I am not sure whether one or several jets would be best but this could be tried. Hgs 268 | ||
