this guy probably prevented many OTR drivers from going insane

Hmmm. Should we all clean our windshields at noon?

Kearns died Feb. 9 at his home in suburban Baltimore and was buried in Michigan

Sources close to the Kearns said he kept going back & forth, back & forth, between his 2 homes.

I'd like to...            Thank this guy...                 For the invention.

I remember reading his story in the Washington Post back when he sued Ford. I actually still remember the story when I am fussing to find the proper speed for my windshield wipers.

From wnat I read, he lost his family and friends over this lawsuit. It became an obsession. As much as I like that he won over those who stole his idea, he paid an awfully high price. More than I would pay.

My wife's cousin worked at the firm that represented him in some of his later lawsuits. He said that Kearns spent nearly every dime he had to get back at the auto companies. Sad.

My truck is lacking intermittent wipers. It drives me nuts to have them slapping continuously in the rain, so I drive flicking the switch on and off.

My father believes that the inventor of the AC should be a wealthy man. I would include this guy.,br>
BTW - is it possible to include this feature on an older vehicle? If so, how?

This man definitely built a better mouse trap. Now if someone could come up with a GOOD blade, I'd be a happy driver.

Inventor of the Windshield Wiper

Whenever I think of this guy, I also think of the guy that invented the quick release socket for rachets that sued Sears for stealing his idea. Don't know how all that ever turned out.

My father's '64 Mercedes 220 had a small (left) foot switch that, when tapped, would cycle the wipers once. Great for misty conditions before the intermittent wipers came along.
