W .Heath. Robinson's electronics.

[colly0410]

I remember reading a book with W. Heath. Robinson's drawing's of ridiculously complicated contraptions in it, most worked by steam from a kettle heated by a candle. I'm wondering what he would draw if he was still with us & into electronics? Is there an electronics version of him?

There's a few nice things on XKCD.

Mark's first link was the one I was thinking of but couldn't immediately find.
