Default Windshield wiper lines

Has anyone got a picture of where the hose runs to connect this ‘stone age’ contraption? Was there a shut off valve in the line? All the hoses have been long missing from this truck.
For the 13 cab, the lines ran from the wiper motor (that included a shutoff valve) to a T fitting at the center post of the windshield frame and then downward. Most of the length of the lines were hard lines, the rubber connecting lines were fairly short. I've never seen reference to a a separate shutoff or speed regulating valve.
