Re: [T3] Windshield Wiper Motor 3-wire?

["William Bold" <wtbold@hotmail.com>]

<x-flowed>My Henry Elfrink book has a schematic for a '66 ("1600") with three wires 
from the wiper moter:  Black (53a, 1,5 mm), Green (53, 1,5 mm) and Black/Yel 
(53b, 1,0 mm).  They go to the three coresponding connections on the wiper 
switch.  Wiper motor ground is through the housing to chassis. The text 
describes the ability to regulate wiper speed by "an upper knurled disc on 
the push button panel (or turning the knob on later models)" . . . ?
