Quality head lights are so important these days for safe driving on our busy roads. Almost all vehicles these days have wiperblades fitted, including trains and even aircraft. They were invented by J. H. Apjohn in 1903 but this was different from what we see today. Later in the same year a lady called Mary Anderson decided to modify the original idea and invented the ‘swinging arm’ wiperblade. A combination of the wiperblade and a pump containing fluid is used to gain good visibility. There are problems when using water in the pumps as it will freeze in cold weather and will be useless until the ice thaws. Advances in modern technology on cars meant that wiperblades were added to the headlights to help with visibility. With the advancment of technology we now see cars with rain sensitive wiperblades that activate when it rains.
