EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph captures the essence of a bygone era in motoring history, featuring the tipping tube, a convenient and humorous solution to the common problem of rewarding those who provided directions with a small tip. The image, taken by W.H. Robinson, shows a driver reaching into the tipping tube, located on the passenger side of the car, to dispense a few coins for the kindly soul who had just given him directions. The driver's expression suggests a sense of relief and amusement, as the struggle with pockets and the strain on his braces are eliminated with this simple yet thoughtful gesture. The tipping tube, a popular accessory in early 20th century automobiles, was a practical and humorous way to express gratitude for assistance on the road. It was a small yet significant act of kindness that added a touch of humor to the daily routine of motoring. This photograph, (c) Courtesy of the estate of Mrs J.C.Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/Mary Evans Picture Library, is a fascinating glimpse into the history of transport and the social norms of the past. It reminds us of the importance of being kind and considerate, even in the most mundane of situations, and the simple pleasures that can make a journey more enjoyable.
