Vacuum or compressed air. Both have been used on vehicles I've driven in
the past.


Vauxhall used to have them driven directly from the engine via a
flexible drive.

Must have been a LONG time ago.


Early/mid '50s. Were near enough current with vacuum ones. Strange thing
is electric ones had been around since long before WW2.

I go back to Victors/Bedford vans and even that had leccy ones..no
heater, but electric wipers..
