Default Interesting Conversions One Thing I Do Not Understand

Hi Hanno

One of the things that interested me about some of the post war conversions of CMPs involving Cab and Windscreen reworks. With the normal conversions I can sort of understand why they reverse the windscreens so they slope back and look more "normal".

But why reverse windscreen on vehicles used in conditions of rain or water spray?

Having driven my CMPs in bad weather the reversed slope windscreen is the only thing that keeps the water or snow off the windscreen is the reverse slope. Either sitting or driving it works better than vertical or normal slope out at the bottom. The only other vehicles that seem to get this point is some military airfield fuel trucks.

What are peoples thoughts?

Cheers Phil
