A top quality wiper blade is really important for negotiating the roads in these busy times. An extremely high amount of vehicles have wiperblades fitted – even trains and aircraft. A basic idea for a wiperblade was the brainchild of an American investor by the name of J. H. Apjohn. 1903 – the very same year saw the update of the wiperblade to a ‘swinging arm’ mechanism that we recognise today. Spraying fluid onto the screen through a pump installed under the bonnet is helpful alongside the wiperblade in gaining good visibility. Problems can arise when water is used in the pump, this is fine in summer but it can freeze in the cold weather and will be useless. As car manufacturing became more sophisticated they added wipers to headlights to ensure that they were kept clean. One of the most recent advances in the world of wiperbades is the development of water sensitive blades that operate once it begins to rain.
