MG TD TF 1500 - Letters 'DW' on TF Wiper Motor

Just curious if anyone knows the reason or history of the black letters "DW" stamped on the shiney part of the TF wiper motor? Just when you think all possible questions have been asked on the BBS!

We debated this before for TF9052 and I don't remember us coming up with an answer.

Thanks Christopher. I just saw this on a museum in Dayton on a mint restoration, and on Matthews pic on the BBS of his original car. I did as well as I could on copying on my car the night before I left to the GoF in VT. Won first TF! I suspect it was an inspection procedure at the wiper plant.

Double (or Dual) Wiper. As opposed to Single Wiper.
Just a thought.

Ha - some good answers! Here is a picture of my winning TF at the GoF last week. Owned since 1973 and drove 40,000 miles of pure enjoyment. Then started restoration in 2006 which took 3 times as much time and money as anticipated. But after not even placing in national shows, in over 40 years, it was worth it to win first among about 14 really nice TFs, many past first place winners. I restored to pretty much original, but with period accessories which were documented with magazine ads I collected. I had a custom top made, and had literally over a dozen, maybe two, tell me it was the best they ever saw. Also after searching for the correct Emitron radio and never seeing one until last year, I have it in the car. Here is a picture in Vermont.

Very nice. Excellent color choice.

Thanks LaVerne, enjoyed your TF on the Rally to Reno in 2011! I liked your rear fender guards. I deliberated for years on each decision I made on color and upholstery. Would go to shows and find a green I liked and ask the color. In the end it was between a Ford truck color and a modern Jaguar color, and I went to a Jag showroom and decided on that color. I am happy with my decision thank goodness, as that is a biggie.
