47-55.1 Wiper question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm in the process of re-wiring my 1953 Chevy truck. The new wiring harness has one wire for power to the switch for the wiper motor. The motor itself has three wires in addition to a ground wire to the chassis. The switch has four blades for the wires to connect to (three from the motor and one for power).

So far that seems relatively straightforward. What is confusing to me is that the switch only seems to have one position other than what I assume is "off". Given the three wires from the motor, I assumed it was a two speed motor. If so, shouldn't the switch have two other positions other than off?
