Ngobusika bowe-1902, umfazi ogama linguMary Anderson wayesiya eNew York waza wafumanisa ukuba imozulu embi yenzaukuqhubaicotha kakhulu.Ngoko ke wakhupha incwadi yakhe yamanqaku waza wazoba umzobo: airabha yokususa inkunkumangaphandle kweifestile, iqhagamshelwe kwi-lever engaphakathi emotweni.
UAnderson wanelungelo lobunikazi lokuvelisa kwakhe kunyaka olandelayo, kodwa bambalwa abantu ababeneemoto ngelo xesha, ngoko ke ukuvelisa kwakhe akuzange kutsale mdla ungako.Kwiminyaka elishumi kamva, xa iModel T kaHenry Ford yazisa iimoto kwindawo eqhelekileyo, imoto ka-Anderson ethi “isicoci seefestile"Yalityalwa."
Emva koko uJohn Oishei wazama kwakhona.U-Oishei ufumene i-“motor” eyenziwe ngesandla eyenziwe apha ekhayai-wiper yemotoebizwa ngokuba yiRabber yeMvula. Ngelo xesha, i-windscreen yayahlulwe yaba ziinxalenye eziphezulu nezisezantsi, kwayeirabha yemvulaWatyibilika ecaleni komsantsa phakathi kweziqwenga ezibini zeglasi. Emva koko waseka inkampani yokuyikhuthaza.
Nangona esi sixhobo sasifuna ukuba umqhubi asebenzise iglu yemvula ngesandla esinye aze asebenzise ivili lokuqhuba ngesinye—kwangoko saba sisixhobo esiqhelekileyo kwiimoto zaseMelika.Inkampani ka-Oishei, ekugqibeleni eyabizwa ngokuba yiTrico, yakhawuleza yalawulaiblade yokususa inkunkumaimakethi.
Emveni kweminyaka,izisuliziye zahlaziywa ngokuphindaphindiweyo ngenxa yotshintsho kuyilo lwefestile. Kodwa ingcamango esisiseko iseyiloo nto uAnderson wayizoba kwinqwelo-mafutha yaseNew York ngo-1902.
Njengoko enye intengiso yokuqala yee-wipers ze-windscreen itshilo: “Umbono ocacileyoithintela iingozi kwaye yenzaukuqhuba lula.
