Two questions:

1) What's the advantage of an intermittent windscreen wiper?

2) Why would Ford allow their name to be used in this movie if it makes them look bad?

1. So it wouldn't make those annoying screeching noises when the rain is very light. (Just one of the many advantages)

2. Any publicity is good publicity?

Well if its not raining that hard having a fast wiper means theres no water to lubricate the blades and it squeeks/wears out the blades. Also its annoying lol.

I thought it would be pretty obvious but its an automatic wiper system that can work intermittently. it doesnt have to be contanstly running, for example when you switch it on it can wipe once and then 1/ 2 or 3 seconds later it starts it return stroke. basically all dependant on how bad the weather conditons are.

You wouldnt put your wipers on full whack in light drizzle, "back in the day" before the intermittent system was available they had no choice but to unneccessarily wear the blades

We now have rain sensitive intermittent wipers system

Since the movie's based on the true story, would Ford even have a choice?

Ooh it sits on my pc and does nothing until I want to watch something that uses Quicktime, then it plays and after I close it.

looks interesting and heart warming. I like david vs goliath type films. [thumbup]

Shame the talking point is a intermitant motor, a piece of plastic and a strip of rubber. [rofl]
