Ah! The large radius of the wiper contact, when even slightly worn,
should bridge enough turns at once so ignore my comment re bounce.

I have no experience with multi wipers so I can't help you there.

How can you possibly think like that? Archi, BART!, etc, etc, provides
an excellent service here. He gives everyone here a reason to feel good
about themselves.

"There but for the grace of God go I" rises like a hymn from the masses.

Besides, who else but Archi would have their head handed to them on a
platter so many times and KEEP COMING BACK FOR MORE...?

I see him as an entertainment. A cheap entertainment, mind you. Kinda
like poking a dog turd with a long stick.
