Reminds me of a story:
In the early 60's, these devices were the domain of luxury cars. There were still plenty of Holdens around using those vacuum wipers, which slowed down or even stopped as you ascended hills.
I made up one of these intermittent devices for my Mini. As it turned out, the day I fitted it, my Dad asked me if I'd drop one of his workers off in town. It had just started to drizzle rain, so I proudly switched on the intermittent wiper to show it off, and it worked a treat. The guy was looking at this marvel (so I thought), and after a while he commented: "that's the trouble with these vacuum wipers, they never work properly".
Geez I was deflated.
