I am hoping someone can shed some light, I have a few questions.
Can anyone explain what "Trico" FPK air pressure wiper was? Was it a brand name or something else.

'Trico' is a trade name, the company still exists and manufactures wiper blades for many vehicles from cars to ships.

I think they made the dreaded vacuum windscreen wipers for Ford cars before Ford went to electric wipers.

Trico also make air wiper motors for Metrobuses; very good when they work, but difficult to set up! Also made air wiper motors for BR locos. 3-speeds, fast, very fast and fall off the edge of the loco!
