The common automobile windshield wiper was invented by Mary Anderson around 1905. She received a patent for her window cleaning device in 1903. Anderson conceived of her invention when she noticed that streetcar drivers had to open their car windows in order to see in the rain. To help solve this problem, she conceived of a swinging arm holding a rubber blade that could be operated by the driver from inside the streetcar via a lever. At first, the public was wary of her invention, thinking it would distract drivers, but after just fifteen years, windshield wipers had become standard equipment on most vehicles. Imagine that you are Ms. Anderson, and sketch some logbook pages that describe your new invention.
