¿I really have a secret satisfaction in being considered rather mad.¿The name of William Heath Robinson has entered the national vocabulary as a by-word for eccentric inventions and makeshift solutions ¿ and with good reason. His world of cogs, bits of string, magnets and precarious tipping points holds a universal appeal.The world of travel is lampooned and reinvented in this brilliantly funny collection of Heath Robinson cartoons. The railway system, cars, boats and planes are all given the unique Heath Robinson treatment, from cow-catching devices to homemade safety gliders, providing hilarious and impossible solutions to the travel problems we never even knew existed.
