I te tīmatanga o te rautau 20, i whakapaitia ake te mīhini porowhita máquina de tejer mā te tāpiri i ngā mana whakahaere hiko. Nā tēnei i nui ake ai te tika me te tika o te tukanga whakaputa, ā, i huaki ake ai ngā huarahi hou mō ngā momo papanga ka taea te hanga.
I te haurua whakamutunga o te rautau 20, i whakawhanakehia ngā mīhini whatu rorohiko, ā, i taea ai te whakahaere tika me te whakahaere i te tukanga whatu. Ka taea te whakarite i ēnei mīhini ki te whakaputa i te whānuitanga o ngā papanga me ngā tauira, ā, he tino whai hua, he whai hua hoki i roto i te umanga kakahu.
