Hailing taxis / W H Robinson -test edit
The fitting of the new Heath Robinson taxi hailer dissolves all difficulties of inadequate whistles (due in some cases to dental work). The fact that is is operated by the woman while the noise comes ostensibly from the man means that both masculine honor is vindicated and feminine interference has full play.

Heath Robinson, showcases a creative and humorous solution to the age-old problem of hailing taxis. The image features a woman, elegantly dressed and holding an umbrella, standing on a bustling city street. She is in the process of operating a new taxi hailer, designed by the renowned British illustrator and inventor, W. Heath Robinson. The Heath Robinson taxi hailer is a clever contraption that eliminates the difficulties often encountered with traditional whistles, which in some cases may be inadequate due to dental work or other factors. The device is designed such that the woman operates it, but the noise appears to emanate from the man standing nearby, thus upholding masculine honor while allowing for feminine interference. Heath Robinson, known for his whimsical and inventive illustrations, was a master of finding humor in everyday situations. This image, with its blend of humor, transport, and a touch of history, is a testament to his unique vision and ingenuity. The Heath Robinson taxi hailer, with its quirky design and practical application, is a delightful reminder of the past and the innovative spirit that continues to inspire us today.
