Sherman V OP in Caen: 1628018_71844d03c3906615b41b86a7ce2d6d83_t.jpg Source: https://flic.kr/p/28zpi7g While the tiny fittings (arrow) were installed early on, it is thought that supplies of the "driver's windshield and hood" only became available to the Detroit Tank Arsenal at about the same time as the dust cover. For power, the windshield wiper and defroster were plugged into a utility outlet on the instrument panel. When not in use, this item was stored on a shelf above the transmission. m4a4_44.jpg Source: http://the.shadock.free.fr/sherman_m..._variants.html Driver's Hood and Windshield installed on a large hatch Sherman. As the hatch was larger, the windshield was wider, but it was of the same construction. Indeed these windshields were made for other tanks as well. the-drivers-hood.jpg
