Heath Robinson depicts a cross-section view of an automobile's back axle system, showcasing a unique and ingenious method of constant lubrication, linked to the suspension. Heath Robinson, known for his whimsical and humorous illustrations, brought a touch of wit and creativity to the often mundane world of mechanics and motoring. In this illustration, we see a complex network of tubes and pipes, connected to various components of the back axle assembly. The system appears to utilize a reservoir of lubricant, which is drawn up through the pipes and delivered to the axle bearings as needed. This constant flow of lubrication ensures that the axle remains well-oiled, reducing friction and wear, and ensuring a smoother ride. The illustration also highlights the connection between the suspension and lubrication systems, demonstrating how these essential components work in harmony to provide a reliable and efficient means of transportation. The intricate details and whimsical touches, such as the anthropomorphized gears and pistons, add to the charm and appeal of this historical print. Heath Robinson's ability to bring humor and creativity to the world of mechanics and motoring continues to captivate audiences, making this print a must-have for any collection focused on the history of transportation or the works of this beloved illustrator.
