I use a Vacuum wiper on the Chummy, RK and Top Hat. I find them reliable provided they are kept well oiled and I get used to the fact that they slow down or stop when accelerating hard.

My dad had a Ford 8 (model 7Y) and a Prefect (E493A) in the 'sixties, with Vacuum wipers so maybe I got used to them then. The Ford had a tank to hold a bit of vacuum to operate the wipers when the throttle was floored but it didn't seem to do much good.....
