1. Title: "A Clever Trick: Greasing the Car with Ease - W.H. Robinson's Ingenious Device" (c) Courtesy of the estate of Mrs J.C.Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/Mary Evans Picture Library In the early days of motoring, maintaining a vehicle was a laborious and time-consuming task. Greasing every part of the car was essential to keep it running smoothly, but the process was far from efficient. Enter W.H. Robinson, a clever inventor who came up with an ingenious solution to make the task easier and more amusing. The image captures the moment as Robinson demonstrates his remarkable greasing device to an intrigued crowd. With a mischievous grin, he holds a large pump filled with lubricant, while two heavy friends stand ready to help. The device, attached to the car's frame, allows all points to be greased in one fluid motion, saving time and effort. The scene exudes a sense of humor and camaraderie, as the men work together to make the most of this innovative tool. The historical context of the photograph, with the car's vintage design and the period clothing of the people, adds to the nostalgic charm. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the early motoring era. It reminds us that even the most mundane tasks could be turned into enjoyable moments with a bit of creativity and a little help from friends. As we marvel at this clever invention, we can't help but appreciate the progress that has been made in automotive technology over the years. Yet, the spirit of innovation and collaboration that Robinson embodied continues to inspire us in our daily lives. This image, with its rich historical significance and delightful humor, is a must-have for any collection focusing on motoring history, transportation, and the human spirit.
