Picture No	10639412
Date	1928
Description	The Ice Hole Clam Spearer by Heath Robinson
Details	An ingenious, though perhaps rather complicated device to catch clams through ice in the frozen north, part of a series of drawings entitled, æVery Patent Aides to SportÆ. A piece of toast tempts an underwater clam, who, the moment it attempts to take a bite will have triggered a string, which sounds a bell which in turn alerts the hunter to cut another string and send a spear diving down to kill its prey.
