Fabulous Machines
Having seen this reference to Rowland Emett in Beth's story it brought back childhood memories of other fabulous machines that were made by the inventor Wilf Lunn and the long legacy of eccentric english inventors going back to Heath Robinson.
This story will look at three such eccentric geniuses and how their fabulous machines were part of my childhood. In case you are interested- there is a picture of me as a small boy on this record sleeve- yes that's me in the cowboy outfit top right!

'It's a bit Heath Robinson' has become synonymous with things that work but really shouldn't.
