Some Key Toy Manufacturers
45936 MOC Must Toys Book6 12/1/05 7:53 am Page 41 Some key toy manufacturers Britain Abbatt Toys Paul and Marjorie Abbatt were pioneers of innovative educational toys in the 1930s. They set up in business in 1932 selling toys to friends and by mail order from their flat in Tavistock Square, London. Demand was such that in 1936 they opened a child friendly shop at 94 Wimpole Street, designed by their friend the architect Ernö Goldfinger. The Abbatts were his main clients at the time and he designed toys and nursery equipment for them. They were concerned with the play needs of children in general, introducing a range of toys for children with physical disabilities devised by Milan Morgenstern. In 1951 they were instrumental in setting up the Children’s Play Activities Trust Ltd. to promote excellence in toy design and manufacture. After Paul Abbatt died in 1971 the business was bought by the Educational Supply Association. William Britain Ltd. Britains Ltd. was founded by William Britain in London in 1840. At first Britains made tin and clockwork toys and from the 1890s they made model soldiers. It also opened an office in Paris, France in 1905. The company made munitions for both world wars. In 1954 Herald miniatures, makers of unbreakable plastic toys, became a subsidiary of Britains. In 1966 Britains ceased to manufacture its metal soldiers. It was purchased by Ertl Co. in 1997. The Chad Valley Co. Ltd. The Chad Valley trademark was first registered in 1897 when the original company of Johnson Brothers added games to its stationery range.

Category 11 Breaches of confidentiality Date 1999-01-29 Keyword data leakage privacy confidentiality control Web Source, Vol, No. RISKS 20 18 The Canadian consumer-tracking service Air Miles inadvertently left 50,000 records of applicants for its loyalty program publicly accessible on their Web site for an undetermined length of time. The Web site was offline as of 21 January until the problem was fixed.

Schwarz Web site resulted paradoxically in weakening the security of transactions deliberately completed by FAX instead of through SSL. Customers who declined to send their credit-card numbers via SSL ended up having their personal details — address and so forth — stored in a Web page that could be accessed by anyone entering a URL with an appropriate (even if randomly chosen) numerical component. Date 1999-02-10 Keyword e-commerce credit card personal information password privacy Source, Vol, No. RISKS 20 20 Prof. Ross Anderson of Cambridge University analyzed requirements on the AMAZON.COM online bookstore for credit card number, password, and personal details such as phone number. He identified several risks: (1) merchant retention of credit card numbers poses a far higher risk of capture than of capture in transit; (2) adding a password increases the likelihood of compromise because so many naïve users choose bad passwords and then write them down; (3) even the British site for Amazon contravenes European rules on protecting consumer privacy; (3) such practices make it easier for banks to reject their clients' claims of fraudulent use of their credit-card numbers.

Veterans Film Targets British Army Over Child Recruitment
HOLD FOR RELEASE UNTIL 00.01AM 24th JUNE 2015 Veterans Film Targets British Army over Child Recruitment ‘ACTION MAN: BATTLEFIELD CASUALTIES’ Veterans for Peace UK film by Darren Cullen & Price James Featuring Matt Berry Written by Darren Cullen Directed by Price James Produced by Agile Films Screening and Exhibition: 24th June – 2nd July 2015, (free entry) Red Gallery, 1-3 Rivington Street, London EC2A 3DT Film online at: www.battlefieldcasualties.co.uk A series of controversial films launched today by Veterans for Peace UK highlight the realities of armed service for young soldiers. The films parody iconic Action Man toys and appear to be adverts for a new Battlefield Casualties addition to the range, but the ‘adverts’ are in fact a dark satire on the reality of life and death in and after the army; an attempt by the veterans group to put pressure on the government to raise the army recruitment age to eighteen. The bleak but trenchant films, with a voiceover from actor and comedian Matt Berry, showcase three toy soldiers, PTSD Action Man (“with thousand-yard stare action”), Paralysed Action Man (“legs really don’t work”) and Dead Action Man (“coffin sold separately”). Veterans for Peace say the films are an attempt to draw attention to the way the British Army targets teenagers and even young children in its search for new recruits while ignoring and downplaying the often-brutal repercussions of military service in their advertising. The UK is one of fewer than twenty countries worldwide that still recruits sixteen year olds into its armed forces.1 Most countries only recruit adults aged eighteen and above.

45936 MOC Must Toys Book6 12/1/05 7:52 am Page 32 1980s Consumer research was very much part of the production process in the US since the 1960s. In Britain, little consumer research had been done before the 1980s and little design input went into good advertising. In fact pre-war advertising as evidenced by the catalogues of Lines Bros. and Kiddicraft was far more eye catching. Combined with the difficulties thrown up by the current economic climate; increased imports, the rising cost of raw materials, increased labour costs and removal of fixed prices, it was inevitable that even large businesses could not guarantee long term security and survival. Desperate measures were tried by some, but by the beginning of the 1980s over sixteen British companies had collapsed including some of the major players; Lesney, Mettoy, Berwick Timpo and Airfix. Eventually these were to be absorbed by other companies in the US and the Far East, as well as in Britain. However, many major British companies managed to survive including some venerable examples, such as Britains, Spears, Hornby, Waddingtons, Galt and Cassidy Brothers. Torquil Norman started Bluebird Toys in 1983, his first product being the now famous Big Yellow Teapot House. This was one of the first ‘container’ houses which broke away from the traditional architectural style of dolls’ houses in favour of this light and colourful family home.
