Typicaly a British bit of vocabalry, meaning "Any other answer or
thing I could do to make it work" in it's simplist term. Dave d;-)



William Heath Robinson (1872-1944) was the first to see the humour in
drawing fantastically complicated machines.

The closest translation into US English is "Rube Goldberg".



Didn't he write "The Adventures of Uncle Lubin?" (My favorite
children's book.)
