Kua taunga inaianei te hunga e hikoi ana i te tiriti ki te whai i ngā tohutohu angā rama huarahikia tika te haere i roto i ngā whakawhiti huarahi. Engari kua whakaarohia e koe ko wai te kaihanga o te rama huarahi? E ai ki ngā tuhinga, i whakamahia tētahi rama huarahi o te ao i te rohe o Westmeister o Rānana, Ingarangi i te tau 1868. Ko ngā rama huarahi i taua wā he whero me te kakariki anake, ā, i tahuna ki te hau.
Nō te tau 1914 rawa i whakamahia ai ngā rama huarahi mō ngā pana hiko i Cleveland, Ohio. Nā tēnei taputapu i whakatakoto te turanga mō ngā hangarau houngā tohu whakahau wakaI te taenga mai o te tau 1918, i whakatūria e te Hononga o Amerika tētahi rama ara tae-toru ki runga i tētahi pourewa teitei i Fifth Avenue i te Tāone o Niu Ioka. Nā tētahi Hainamana i whakaaro kia tāpirihia ngā rama ara kōwhai ki ngā rama ara whero me te kākāriki taketake.
Ko Hu Ruding te ingoa o tēnei Hainamana. I taua wā, i haere ia ki te Hononga o Amerika me te wawata kia "whakaora pūtaiao i te whenua". I mahi ia hei kaimahi mā te Kamupene Hiko Matua, ko Edison te heamana. I tētahi rā, i tū ia i tētahi whakawhitinga waka pukumahi e tatari ana mō te rama kakariki. I tōna kitenga i tētahi rama whero, ā, tata ia te hipa, ka pā mai tētahi waka e tahuri ana me te tangi, ka mataku ia, ka werawera. I tōna hokinga ki te whare moe, ka whakaaroaro ia i ia wā, i ia wā, ā, i te mutunga ka whakaaro ia ki te tāpiri i tētahi rama tohu kōwhai i waenganui i ngā rama whero me ngā rama kakariki hei whakamahara i te iwi kia aro ki te tūponotanga. I whakaū tonutia tana whakaaro e ngā rōpū e tika ana. Nō reira, ko ngā rama tohu whero, kōwhai me te kakariki he whānau rama whakahau katoa, e kapi ana i ngā mara kawe waka whenua, moana me te rangi puta noa i te ao.
Ko ngā wā nui e whai ake nei mō te whanaketanga ongā rama huarahi:
-I te tau 1868, i whānau mai tētahi rama huarahi o te ao i te UK;
-I te tau 1914, i puta tuatahi mai ngā rama huarahi e whakahaeretia ana e te hiko i ngā tiriti o Cleveland, Ohio;
-I te tau 1918, i whakauruhia te United States ki te rama ara ā-ringa tae-toru whero, kōwhai, me te kakariki i Fifth Avenue;
-I te tau 1925, i whakauruhia e Rānana, te United Kingdom ngā rama tohu tae-toru, ā, i mua i whakamahia ngā rama kōwhai hei "rama whakarite" i mua i ngā rama whero (i mua i tēnei, i whakamahia e te United States ngā rama kōwhai hei tohu i te tahuritanga o te motuka);
-I te tau 1928, i puta ngā rama huarahi tuatahi o Haina i te British Concession i Shanghai. I puta ngā rama huarahi tuatahi o Beijing i Xijiaomin Lane i te tau 1932.
-I te tau 1954, i whakamahia tuatahitia e te Tiamana Matua o mua te tikanga whakahaere raina o te tohu i mua i te tohu me te tere (i whakamahia e Beijing tētahi raina rite ki te whakahaere i ngā rama huarahi i te Hui-tanguru 1985).
-I te tau 1959, i whānau mai ngā rama huarahi e whakahaerehia ana e ngā wāhi rorohiko.
Tae noa ki tēnei wā, he tino pai ngā rama huarahi. He maha ngā momo rama huarahi, ngā rama huarahi mata-katoa, ngā rama huarahi pere, ngā rama huarahi hikoi hihiri, ngā rama huarahi, me ētahi atu. "Mā ngā rama whero, mā ngā rama matomato" hei tiaki i tā tātou haere tahi.
