Etiquette, hat tipping / W H Robinson
Many drivers are opposed to hat raising while driving as it involves removing a hand from the wheel. This difficulty can be overcome by cutting a small trapdoor in the roof of the car through which the hat can be brandished by means of a small lever and a piece of twine worked by the drivers foot.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming photograph, taken in the early 20th century, we see a dapper gentleman named W.H. Robinson engaged in an intriguing solution to the age-old problem of hat etiquette while driving. At a time when hats were an essential accessory for gentlemen, the act of tipping them in acknowledgment of social superiority or as a polite gesture was deeply ingrained in British culture. However, the practice posed a significant challenge for motorists, as removing a hand from the wheel could be dangerous. To overcome this predicament, Robinson devised an ingenious contraption for his automobile. The image reveals a small trapdoor in the roof of the car, which could be opened by means of a lever and a piece of twine operated by Robinson's foot. This ingenious system allowed him to brandish his hat in the air while keeping both hands on the wheel, ensuring both safety and etiquette were maintained. This photograph, taken on a picturesque heath, showcases the humor and creativity of the era's motorists, who were always seeking ways to adapt to the new technology while adhering to traditional social norms. The image is a testament to the spirit of innovation and the importance of etiquette, even in the face of new challenges.
