THE HAPPIEST BOY IN THE WORLD

A Meccano boy is the happiest boy in the world. His days are full of the fun and thriile he gets from his wonderful and fascinating Meccano hobby.

He is able to build working models of the world's engineering masterpieces, and thus gain practical constructional ex- perience in a delightfully interesting. manner.

Meccano is real engineering in many ture-all the parts are standardised and interchangeable and can be used over and over again to make hundreds of different working models,

There are also Meccano Motor Car Outfits which enable porfect models of sports and speed cars to be built and Meccano Aeroplana Outfits with which you can make realistic models of different types of aircraft.pdf
