On the later (not nec. "late") IIA's and III's, with negative earth, LRs use
a single motor to drive both wipers. There are two identical Wheelboxes
that drive the wiper arms. A flexible drive cable is alternately pushed and
pulled by the wiper motor. The Wheelboxes are installed 180 degrees off
(that is, one is upside down, relative to the other). They are both driven
by the same flexible drive cable, such that they move in opposite directions
when the flexible cable moves. The flexibility of the flexible drive cable
allows the mounting of the wheelboxes in different orientations, but with
shafts at the same vertical alignment.
Does that make sense? Hope so..
