The balljoint could be adjusted to aim the jet. These are seriously hard to find now, and would be a great subject for remanufacture. I do know of another make of car to which they could be sold also!
I have no idea who made them. I don't think it was Trico, more likely a low-volume run by Smiths.

Cobra screen jet = Lucas
There are at least two versions of nozzle but I have found only one on unrestored Cobras.
If purchased in a Lucas "sundries kit" instructions and a little wrench for aiming the spray was included.
