Heath Robinson’s „Ideal Home“, 1934 (Filmdokument)

(Aus Pinner Local  West House )

( Aus einer Postkartenserie „The GADGETS: Heath Robinson’s Ideal Home, 1934)

Keith Newstead teilt uns freundlicherweise in FB Mechanical Adventures einen Link zu den Londons Screen Archives mit, wo es eine 1.12 lange Filmsequenz über dieses große Hausmodell nach Entwürfen von Heath Robinson mechanisiert zu bewundern gibt.  Ein Auszug aus dem Infotext:  „The film records a three-dimensional model of a house with moving puppets designed by the cartoonist W. Heath Robinson exhibited at the 1934 Ideal Home Exhibition at Olympia in Earl’s Court. The house was known as ‚The Gadgets‘ and was presented as Heath Robinson’s ‚Ideal Home‘. The film appears to be incomplete, ending with two intertitles suggesting that perhaps the camera team were filming secretly and were summarily thrown out.  ….The OED defines ‚Heath Robinson‘ as an adjective for something that is ‚ingeniously or ridiculously over complicated in design or construction.‘ His work is clearly the inspiration behind some of the inventions in Nick Park’s Wallace and Gromit films.“
