NON-DEPRESSED PARK WIPER

CHEVELLE, CHEVY II AND CAMARO

The Type "E" two-speed electric windshield wiper

assembly (fig. 64) incorporates a non-depressed type

(blades park approximately 2" above windshield molding)

motor and gear train. The rectangular, 12 volt, com-

pound wound motor is coupled to a train consisting of a

helical drive gear at the end of the motor armature shaft,

an intermediate gear and pinion assembly, and an output
gear and shaft assembly. The crank arm is attached to

the output gear shaft.

Two switches, connected in parallel, control the start-

ing, stopping and parking of the Type "E" wiper motor.

The manually operated start, stop switch is located on

the instrument panel, while the cam operated park switch

is located in the wiper gear box.

WINDSHIELD
WASHER PUMP

The windshield washer pump used on the 2-speed Type

"E"
wiper motor assembly is a positive displacement

type pump employing a small bellows, bellows spring and

valve arrangement. The pumping mechanism is actuated

by a four lobe cam and driven directly by the wiper motor

(fig. 71). Thus, when the wiper is operated, this rotor is

always turning with the gear. Programming is accom-

plished electrically and mechanically by a relay assembly

and ratchet wheel arrangement.
