<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">It is because of the short, near vertical windshield. The wipers have to be small to make the arc without hitting the top trim and there by would leave larger areas of poor vision if there were only two. More modern cars like the miata have more rake (angle) on the windshield allowing for essentially taller windshields and thereby larger wipers to cover more area.<BR><BR>Aaron Sphar<BR>atsphar@yahoo.com<BR>(801) 941-0926<BR><BR>--- On <B>Fri, 6/10/11, Eugene Jaroch <I><bughous@msn.com></I></B> wrote:<BR>

Hi Brownie,<BR> <BR>Seems I remember reading back then it had to do with sq. ins. per cent of wiindshield coverage of the wipers to windshield surface or some fool thing like that. From Road & Track of the time.<BR> <BR>Paul, Membership BMCU<BR>'80 MGB LE<BR> <BR>
