I'm perplexed. Can anyone explain their use of words like 'overhang length'? Figure 16 seems to be concerned with the 'windscreen' angle.

HotVWs magazine used to run an ad on the inside cover that showed Beetles racing in the rain and they all had rooster tails of water coming off the windshield. But the flat, upright windshield has a radiused header, especially the pre-1960s models, that compensated. Air has less mass.
