There are at least two online treasure troves of classic Braun design archives. One is Das Programm, a research arm of London-based design firm Systems Studio. It was on Das Programm's Instagram that I learned of this Dieter-Rams-designed object I'd never seen—a Braun-branded ice scraper:
It's credited to both Rams and Dietrich Lubs, circa 1971.
The second online Braun archive is the wonderful BraunDesign.es, run by Fernando Pérez Ordás. Thankfully Ordás has provided exactly the kinds of images that designers would want to see:

Consider bookmarking both Das Programm and BraunDesign.es for when you need a classic Braun fix.

Why two rubber blades? I feel the outer piece should be for snow and ice and the inside piece with a (protected) rubber blade to squeegee off the water melted by the defroster.
