Njengoba kunamafasitela, bekunesidingo sokuhlanzwa kwamafasitela.
Umlando wokuhlanza iwindi uhambisana nomlando wengilazi. Nakuba kungekho muntu owazi ngokuqinisekile ukuthi ingilazi yenziwa nini noma kuphi okokuqala, kungenzeka ukuthi isukela emuva ngenkulungwane yesi-2 BC eGibhithe lasendulo noma eMesophothamiya. Ngokusobala, kwakuyindawo engavamile kakhulu kunanamuhla, futhi yayibhekwa njengeyigugu kakhulu. Laze lasetshenziswa emshweni ohambisana negolide eBhayibhelini (Jobe 28:17). Ubuciko bokuvunguza ingilazi abuzange bufike kwaze kwaba sekupheleni kwekhulu lokuqala BC, futhi ekugcineni baqala ukukhiqizwa ngobuningi maphakathi nekhulu le-19. Kungaleso sikhathi lapho iqale ukusetshenziswa ukukhiqiza amawindi.
Lamafasitela okuqala ayehlanzwa omama bemizi noma izisebenzi, ngekhambi elilula, ibhakede lamanzi nendwangu. Kwaze kwaze kwaba yilapho kuqala ukwakhiwa—okuqala ngo-1860–lapho kwavela khona isidingo sabahlanzi bamafasitela.
Kwaqhamuka iSqueegee
Ekuqaleni kwawo-1900, kwakukhona i-squeegee yaseChicago. Bekungabukeki njenge squeegee omaziyo nomthandayo namuhla. Yayinkulu futhi isindayo, inezikulufu ezingu-12 ezidingekayo ukuze kuxegiswe noma kushintshwe izindwani ezimbili eziphinki. Yayisekelwe kumathuluzi abadobi ababewasebenzise ukukhuhla amathumbu ezinhlanzi emadekhini esikebhe. Lezi kwakuyizimo zobuciko kwaze kwaba ngu-1936 lapho isifiki sase-Italy okuthiwa u-Ettore Steccone siklama futhi sigunyaza ilungelo lobunikazi i-squeegee yosuku lwanamuhla, uyazi, ithuluzi elenziwe ngethusi elingasindi, elinensingo yenjoloba eyodwa ebukhali, eguquguqukayo. Ngokufanelekile, yaqanjwa ngokuthi “Ettore.” Ngokushaqisayo, i-Ettore Products Co. isengumhlinzeki oholayo we-squeegee yanamuhla, futhi iseyintandokazi phakathi kochwepheshe. I-Ettore ifana ngokuphelele nazo zonke izinto zokuhlanza amafasitela namafasitela.
Amasu Anamuhla
I-squeegee kwakuyithuluzi elikhethwayo labahlanzi bamafasitela kuze kube sekuqaleni kwawo-1990. Kwabe sekufika uhlelo lwezigxobo eziphakelwa amanzi. Lawa masistimu asebenzisa amathange amanzi ahlukanisiwe ukuphakela amanzi ahlanzekile ngezigxobo ezinde, abese exubha futhi ehlanza ukungcola futhi ome ngaphandle komzamo angashiyi imicu noma ama-smears. Izigxobo, ngokuvamile ezenziwe ngengilazi noma nge-carbon fiber, zingafinyelela ku-70 ft, ukuze abahlanzi bamafasitela bakwazi ukwenza umlingo wabo bemi ngokuphepha phansi. Isistimu yezigxobo eziphakelwa ngamanzi ayiphephile nje kuphela, kodwa futhi igcina amafasitela ehlanzekile isikhathi eside. Akumangalisi ukuthi izinkampani eziningi zokuhlanza amafasitela namuhla zikhetha lolu hlelo.
Ubani owaziyo ukuthi ubuchwepheshe besikhathi esizayo bungase bubambe, kodwa into eyodwa iqinisekile: inqobo nje uma kukhona amafasitela, kuzoba nesidingo sokuhlanza iwindi.
