transmissions, all of which have transformed the experience--and

and Carrera GT, modern images and historical photos immerse the
reader in both the history and the evolving technology that Vic
Elford knows like no one else.

W. Heath Robinson is best known for his hilarious drawings of zany
contraptions, though his work ranged across a wide variety of
topics covering many aspects of British life in the decades
following the First World War. Starting out as a watercolour
artist, he quickly turned to the more lucrative field of book
illustration and developed his forte in satirical drawings and
cartoons. He was regularly commissioned by the editors of Tatler
and The Sketch and in great demand from advertising companies.
Collections of his drawings were subsequently published in many
different editions and became so successful as to transform Heath
Robinson into a household name, celebrated for his eccentric brand
of British humour. Presenting such innovations as the 'Zip-Opening
Bonnet', the 'Duo-car for the Incompatible' and the handy 'New Rear
Wheel Gear for Turning the Car in One Movement', this volume of
Heath Robinson illustrations with commentary by K.R.G. Browne will
appeal to 'everybody who is ever likely to drive, be driven in, or
get run over by a mechanically propelled vehicle'.
