  • A Reconstruction of the Differential Analyzer in Meccano
    FEATURE A Reconstruction of the Differential Analyzer in Meccano The challenges of torque amplifiers, integrators, and backlash By Tim Robinson was first introduced to Meccano, a child’s educational construction set cre- ated in the United Kingdom, at about the age of six and quickly became fascinated with it as a medium for constructing working mechanisms and small machines. Over the next ten years or so, I gath- Iered quite a large collection. I first attempted to construct a differential analyzer in Meccano around 1971. I had just encountered calculus in high school and at the same time I started to develop an interest in computers. One of the first books I read on computers included a chapter on analog computation, and on the differential analyz- er in particular. Significantly, the book briefly men- ©DIGITALVISION tioned that simple differential analyzers had been constructed in Meccano in the 1930s. So began an inter- est that has remained with me for more than 30 years. Early Attempts My early attempts were not very successful because of the diffi- culty of constructing functioning torque amplifiers. When Hartree and Porter built the first Meccano differential analyzer at Manchester Universi- ty, their goal was to build a working machine quickly. They used Meccano simply because it was readily available and allowed them to avoid designing and custom machining most of the required parts. However, Hartree and Porter felt no constraint to stay within the limits of the Meccano system. In particular, they did not believe that adequate torque amplifiers could be made without custom machining.

  • HISTORY of TOYS: Timeline 4000 B.C - 1993 Iowa State University
    A BRIEF HISTORY OF TOYS By Tim Lambert Early Toys Before the 20th century children had few toys and those they did have were precious. Furthermore children did not have much time to play. Only a minority went to school but most children were expected to help their parents doing simple jobs around the house or in the fields. Egyptian children played similar games to the ones children play today. They also played with toys like dolls, toy soldiers, wooden animals, ball, marbles, spinning tops and knucklebones (which were thrown like dice). In Ancient Greece when boys were not at school and girls were not working they played ball games with inflated pig's bladders. They also played with knucklebones. Children also played with toys like spinning tops, dolls, model horses with wheels, hoops and rocking horses. Roman children played with wooden or clay dolls and hoops. They also played ball games and board games. They also played with animal knucklebones. Toys changed little through the centuries. In the 16th century children still played with wooden dolls. (They were called Bartholomew babies because they were sold at St Bartholomew's fair in London). They also played cup and ball (a wooden ball attached by string to the end of a handle with a wooden cup on the other end. You had to swing the handle and try and catch the ball in the cup). Modern Toys The industrial revolution allowed toys to be mass produced and they gradually became cheaper. John Spilsbury made the first jigsaw puzzle in 1767. He intended to teach geography by cutting maps into pieces but soon people began making jigsaws for entertainment.

  • Learning to Engineer in the Last Build, We Described Toy Building Sets That Imitated the Process of Building
    BUILDINGBUILDING HISTORYHISTORY Learning to engineer In the last Build, we described toy building sets that imitated the process of building. Here we look at engineering models like Meccano and how their complexity fostered their users’ ability to problem-solve. By Professors Robert Vale and Brenda Vale, Professorial Research Fellows, School of Architecture, Victoria University of Wellington y the start of the 20th century, the roles of architect and engineer Meccano – top engineering toy had clearly been split into two different disciplines. This split is Top of the list of engineering toys must be Meccano, patented by Frank reflected in construction toys and also raises the issue of gender Hornby in 1901. His initial aim was to give children a new toy to play with B and toys. Engineering toys were seen as boys’ toys, and it was a every day, as the same system could be made into a toy lorry or a toy brave manufacturer that pictured girls playing with them – usually the girl crane. What he did not foresee was that it was the making of Meccano is to one side, watching admiringly (see Figure 1). that provided the play value, not the hours spent pushing the finished toy Bricks and blocks have more universal appeal, and girls were sometimes around. After many hours spent making the model or mechanism, it would shown playing with the toy on the box lid. Bricks and blocks also make sit gathering dust in a corner because no one could bear to take it apart. buildings, but many engineering toys make mechanisms, which girls were not thought to be interested in.
