EDITORS COMMENTS
(c) Courtesy of the estate of Mrs J.C.Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/Mary Evans Picture Library Title: "The Unowheel Car: A Humorous Solution to Tyre Troubles by W.H. Robinson" This intriguing photograph captures the ingenious and singular creation of W.H. Robinson, an inventor from the early days of motoring history. The image, dated back to the late 19th or early 20th century, shows a man identified as "William Heath Robinson," humorously depicted while balancing on the unusual vehicle called the "Unowheel Car." The Unowheel Car, a remarkable attempt to revolutionize transportation, was designed to eliminate the troublesome issue of tyre maintenance. Instead of the conventional four-wheel design, this car features a counterweighted, single wheel, which was believed to provide a smoother ride and reduce the need for frequent tyre changes. Robinson's design, though unconventional, was an embodiment of the inventive spirit that characterized the early days of motoring. The Unowheel Car, with its quirky appearance and innovative concept, generated both amusement and intrigue among the public. The photograph, taken during a test run, captures the moment as Robinson, with a determined expression on his face, attempts to balance on the Unowheel Car. The image, filled with a sense of humor and historical significance, is a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of the past. The Unowheel Car, though never commercially successful, remains an intriguing footnote in the history of automotive innovation. This photograph, a rare glimpse into the past, serves as a reminder of the bold and imaginative spirit that continues to drive the world of transportation forward.
