Bathing was quite an event back then, wasn't it? I always took it as a challenge to get the water as hot as possible but sometimes I got a little worried that the boiler would explode. Didn't know, there was a safety valve somewhere... And yes, the bathroom got steeming hot!

The crazy inventor sounds great and to move around with such a contraption would definitely require a fair share of craziness... but what would the world be without it?
