If you're referring to how the wiper arm was propelled; as I recall both engineer and fireman's wipers
had an "Air-Push" pneumatic cylinder type unit. Each wiper operated independently of the other.

One thing I do NOT miss about older semi trucks, air wipers.  About as useless as a screen door in a submarine.

I was glad to have air wipers on my old cab over Freightliner after getting out of my 47 Plymouth with vacuum wipers. Remember going up hills with vacuum wipers in a hard rain?
