This is going to sound like a joke (and heaven knows I NEVER
JOKE!--but it isn't...), I once heard the little windshield wiper
pumps, the ones which spray on the window cleaner were the by-product
of nasa technology adopted by the auto industry; you wouldn't know
about that, would you?
Funny, but that question has stuck in my mind for years. I had made a
mental note to ask, if ever given the chance... sometimes doesn't take
much to entertain me... frown I actually doubt it... I mean, the
cleaner would freeze in the tank in space, immediately freeze and/or
crystallize to ice when discharged, etc...
or, perhaps they meant the pumps used by nasa were actually for
another purpose and just adapted to windshields here on terafirma...

Just could explain why all these cars have taken on an "aerodynamic
look" to 'em... yes indeed, I think I can see your hand at work
here.
If fact, now I look closer, some pretty feline lines grace those
rigs! grin
Just offhand, I'd bet aerospace was much more interesting...

Actually I have nothing to do with the exterior lines of
automobiles. I work for a supplier developing underhood components.
Well every job I've had has been interesting when you really dive
into it.
