SCREEN-WIPERS.

In view of R's remarks that we are to use electrical screen wipers on the experimental cars - 18, 19, & 20-EX., and/14-G-4. - we would like Sales to send us a sample of the best windscreen wiper they know of. So far we have seen nothing which we have considered silent enough. Upon your recommendation we will arrange for you to purchase screen wipers for these cars in order that you may test them.
