More specifically, the British cultural equivalent to the 'Rube Goldberg device' is the 'Heath Robinson contraption', a phrase that entered the language in the UK around 15 years earlier: Robinson was known for his whimsical drawings of absurdly elaborate mechanical devices constructed from everyday objects, designed to pull off either stupidly simple or improbably niche tasks. Hunter's creation of Branestawm was effectively a distillation of the various balding, bespectacled, professorial types who appeared operating these machines. The pair were a perfect fit, and Robinson illustrated 1933's first book in the series ''The Incredible Adventures of Professor Branestawm'' with the likes of a 'burglar-catching machine', 'potato-peeling machine' and 'pancake-making machine'. Later books' pictures, by different illustrators, kept faithfully to this style.

The third one arrived in 1970, ''thirty three' years later. Then between 1972 and 1983 a further ''ten'' books emerged all in a rush.
