This old Meccano box looks much nicer with a leather handle than a plastic one! Especially since its lid is made of beautiful painted metal.

#meccano got it's own file...

#FrankLloydWright famously claimed that playing with Froebel kindergarten blocks kindled his fascination for form-making. #LeCorbusier, #BuckminsterFuller and #CharlesEames started with the brightly coloured geometric wooden pieces too. Then came #Meccano: look at #NormanFoster’s HSBC Tower in Hong Kong or #RichardRogers’ Lloyd's of London, the lineage is clear.

So what about #LEGO? The world’s best-selling constructional toy this week launched its Smart Bricks but perhaps it is looking the wrong way. Lego’s legacy resides in its inherent #simplicity.”

Question #Meccano Engineering & Robotics au fediverse :

Quelqu'un sait s'il est possible, et où, récupérer un manuel de construction ?

Le repost roule des mécaniques !

@rasterweb I have some long lost memories of taking #Meccano boxes out of the Ludotheque (Ludo in latin means play) that my parents could not afford all those years ago…

@ElpasYou_2 heel heel heel lang geleden #opavertelt bestond er zoiets als #meccano
constructie speelgoed van metaal - waar al dit soort raderen in zaten inclusief bevestiging - daar speelde ik als kind mee - waar mijn interesse in techniek werd gelegd

hoelang geleden? - ik denk zo’n zeventig jaar 🤭 waarschijnlijk iets meer

Big winds overnight #flattened my #OxHeartTomato.

It now looks a little like an #organic #meccano set, with bamboo stakes of various sizes keeping it upright.

AND - finally, it is producing more #fruit!

The 3 #tomatoes previous to these 5 new ones, are still growing very slowly.

I’m tempted to take the larger ones off & let them ripen inside.

Yesterday, white moths were taking an interest in my#OxHeart.
