When I was in the Army, in Louisiana, in 1984, we deployed to Germany for a REFORGER exercise and the Jeep they gave me to drive had vacuum-powered wipers. They did not work well. At all.

This was such a terrible idea— “Open The Throttle To Pass ... Lose Vacuum.... Lose Wiper Speed... Die ”

It’ s hilarious how terrible that is! I had no idea wipers used to be like that.

the system should have a straw coming out of the dash so you can suck on it to add extra vacuum as needed.

Reminds me of a scene from ‘Paper Moon’:

My dad’s 60 Ford had vacuum wipers, probably among the last cars to have that feature.  I remember he’d set them to move very slowly in misty rain, kind of an early intermittent wiper idea.

Neither did I until I saw the video.  Good way to encourage people to slow down in bad weather, eh?

It wasn’t, that’s what they do. Its why the invention of modern intermittent wipers was such a big deal.
