Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 2nd Edition. 210 Pages. 16 black and white plates and line drawings. Large 8vo, 25cm. Second Edition. Very Good Condition. Price Cut DJ. Mild age related tanning to flyleaves, otherwise all pages clean and bright with no markings. Binding tight. Fascinating and humorous autobiography of William Heath Robinson (31 May 1872 13 September 1944) cartoonist illustrator and artist, best known for drawings of whimsically elaborate machines to achieve simple objectives. In the UK, the term "Heath Robinson contraption" gained dictionary recognition around 1912. It became part of popular language during the 19141918 First world War as a description of any unnecessarily complex and implausible contrivance and used in relation to temporary fixes using ingenuity and whatever is to hand, often string and tape, or unlikely cannibalisations. One of the automatic analysis machines built for Bletchley Park during the Second World War to assist in the decryption of German message traffic was named 'Heath Robinson' in his honour. It was a direct predecessor to the Colossus the world's first programmable digital electronic computer. Seller Inventory # 001098
