Hi Guscha

Because they wanted to have infinitely variable wipers before that electrical control had been invented, engineers for the 1961 Lincoln drove the windshield wipers with hydraulic pressure from the power steering system. It works quite well but when the pump needs rebuilding its costly since they drove it from the front of the camshaft.
