Maopopo iā ʻoe ka mea nāna i hoʻokumu i ka wiper makani?

I ka hooilo o ka makahiki 1902, e hele ana kekahi wahine nona ka inoa o Mary Anderson i Nu Ioka,kaʻa ʻanalohi loa.No laila, unuhi ʻo ia i kāna puke kākau a kaha kiʻi: awiper pulupuluma waho o kapale makani, pili i ka lever i loko o ke kaʻa.

Ua patent ʻo Anderson i kāna mea i hana ai i ka makahiki aʻe, akā he kakaikahi ka poʻe i loaʻa nā kaʻa i kēlā manawa, no laila ʻaʻole i hoihoi nui kāna mea hana.He ʻumi makahiki ma hope mai, i ka wā i lawe mai ai ka Model T o Henry Ford i nā kaʻa i loko o ke kahawai nui, ʻo "Anderson"mea hoʻomaʻemaʻe pukaaniani” ua poina.

A laila hoʻāʻo hou ʻo John Oishei.Ua loaʻa iā Oishei kahi hana i hana lima ʻiawiper kaʻakapa ʻia ʻo Rain Rubber. I kēlā manawa, ua māhele ʻia ka pale makani i luna a me lalo, a ʻo kaua pulupaheʻe ma ke āwāwa ma waena o nā ʻāpana aniani ʻelua. A laila hoʻokumu ʻo ia i hui e hoʻolaha.

ʻOiai e koi ana ka mea hoʻokele i ka mea hoʻokele e hoʻopololei i ka ua me ka lima hoʻokahi a me ka huila me ka lima ʻē aʻe - ua lilo koke ia i mea hana maʻamau ma nā kaʻa ʻAmelika.ʻO ka hui o Oishei, i kapa ʻia ʻo Trico, ua lanakila koke i kawiper blademakeke.

I nā makahiki,wipersua hana hou ʻia i ka pane ʻana i ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka hoʻolālā pale makani. Akā ʻo ka manaʻo kumu ka mea a Anderson i kahakaha ai ma ke kaʻa kaʻa ma New York i ka makahiki 1902.

E like me ka hoʻolaha mua ʻana o nā wipers windshield: “ʻIke maopopopale i nā pōʻino a hanamaʻalahi ka hoʻokele.”
