Heath Robinson's Humorous Take on Measuring the Power of a Sports Car This charming photograph, taken by renowned British illustrator W. Heath Robinson (1872-1944), captures the essence of early 20th-century motoring enthusiasm and the fascination with measuring the horsepower of sports cars. The image, titled "Calculating Horse Power" or "Calculating the Horse Power of a Sports Car," showcases a man in a tweed suit, sitting in a quaint garden setting, meticulously calculating the power of a sports car using an intricate and whimsical contraption. The scene is filled with humor and historical significance. The man, with a pipe in hand and a thoughtful expression on his face, is surrounded by an array of gadgets, including a large wooden calculator, a set of scales, and a long ruler. A horse is tethered nearby, its power being transferred to the car via a series of pulleys and ropes. The car's engine is visible in the background, its pistons moving in a synchronized rhythm. Heath Robinson was known for his imaginative and humorous illustrations, often featuring elaborate and fantastical machines. In this photograph, he captures the spirit of the early motoring era, where horsepower was a subject of great interest and measurement was a laborious and intricate process. The image serves as a delightful reminder of the past, when calculating horsepower was an art form in itself. This photograph is not only a fascinating glimpse into the history of motoring and engineering but also a testament to the creativity and humor of W. Heath Robinson. It is a must-have for any collection related to transport history, early motoring, or the works of W. Heath Robinson.
