EDITORS COMMENTS
Rejected by the Inventions Board: Heath Robinson's Elaborate Solution to Stoppering Enemy Rifles during WWI (1915) During the turbulent times of the First World War, the collective imagination of the British people was fueled by the desire to outwit the enemy at every turn. One man who captured the nation's spirit of ingenuity and humor was the renowned cartoonist, William Heath Robinson. In The Sketch magazine, he presented a series of 'Rejected by the Inventions Board' cartoons, showcasing his fantastical and convoluted methods to overcome the challenges of the battlefield. This particular illustration, titled 'Rejected by the Inventions Board - III - A Device for Screw Stoppering the Enemies Rifles,' depicts an elaborate and convoluted contraption designed to prevent enemy rifles from firing. The contraption consists of a crane-like structure, complete with a series of pulleys, ropes, and levers, all connected to a large screw press. The intention was for the soldiers to use this machine to screw down the enemy rifles' barrels, effectively rendering them useless. The humor in this cartoon lies in the absurdity and complexity of the proposed solution. The intricacy of the design, combined with the impracticality of the idea, highlights the inventive spirit and the determination to find a way to gain the upper hand, even in the most challenging circumstances. Despite the seemingly far-fetched nature of the invention, the cartoon serves as a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of the British people during the First World War. William Heath Robinson's 'Rejected by the Inventions Board' series not only provided a much-needed respite from the harsh realities of the war but also showcased the British people's unwavering spirit and their ability to find humor in even the most dire situations.
