Metal Print : The Expandocar / W H Robinson
Metal Prints from Mary Evans Picture Library
The Expandocar / W H Robinson
Built on th opera hat principle, the Expandocar can expand and contract (with the movement of a lever) depending on how many people need to be conveyed. It is suggested that this operation not be carried out while the car is actually in motion as the shock is liable to detach the front end from the rear, with laughable and quite possibly fatal results!

EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph showcases the Expandocar, an innovative and whimsical automobile design by W.H. Robinson, also known as "Heath Robinson." The Expandocar was built on the opera hat principle, allowing it to expand and contract based on the number of passengers. This unique feature was operated by moving a lever, making it an ideal solution for accommodating varying group sizes. The Expandocar's design, with its contracting and expanding sections, was not only a marvel of engineering but also a testament to the inventive spirit of the early 20th century. However, it is essential to note that this operation should not be carried out while the vehicle is in motion. The sudden expansion or contraction could result in the detachment of the front end from the rear, leading to potentially laughable and fatal consequences. In this image, we see a man in a suit, holding a cigar and a contract or will in hand, seemingly discussing the Expandocar's sales and business aspects with another gentleman. The scene exudes an air of sophistication and humor, as the gentlemen appear to be in a comfortable setting, perhaps in a drawing room or an office. The presence of a cigar and a contract further emphasizes the business-like nature of their conversation. This photograph, taken by Pollinger Ltd and now part of the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of motoring and the spirit of innovation that characterized the early days of automobile design.
