Robinson This charming photograph, taken by W.H. Robinson, captures the essence of innovation and humor in the early days of motoring. The image depicts a man, likely the driver, filling up his car with water using a portable reservoir, pipework, and a lever, all from the comfort of his vehicle. The scene is set on a picturesque heath, with the car parked on a grassy verge and the sun casting long shadows. The use of a portable water reservoir for refueling was a common practice during the early 20th century, before the widespread availability of gasoline stations. This method allowed drivers to fill up their vehicles without having to stop at a service station, saving time and providing a sense of independence. The pipework and lever system in the photograph were ingenious inventions that made the process more convenient and efficient. Despite the practicality of the setup, Robinson's photograph also exudes a sense of humor. The man in the image appears to be enjoying the process, with a satisfied expression on his face as he pulls the lever to fill his car's water tank. The scene is reminiscent of the simpler times in motoring history, when innovation and ingenuity were the keys to overcoming the challenges of the road. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the early motorists, who found creative solutions to the challenges of transport in a time before modern conveniences. It is a fascinating glimpse into the past, and a reminder of the rich history of motoring and transportation.
