After checking my email, gt40s.com is always my next stop. Always lots of fun reading.

As far as those Boeing wiper motors go.....We all used to joke that they were pulled straight from the B-29 for use on the 727's and early 737's. Straight cut gears and who knows how may rpm's. They were so loud even on low speed that you couldn't hear anything else! The radio, your co-pilot, nothing. Of course the darn things were only needed close to the ground on a tight and rainy approach to landing.....just when hearing the co-pilot or tower was most important. More proof that Murphy's law is alive and well.
