  • 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.

    Hornby Hobbies A Management Case Study John L Thompson Roger M Bale Professor of Entrepreneurship Huddersfield University Business School 2002 Copyright John L Thompson, 2002 1 hornby.doc HORNBY HOBBIES Abstract Hornby, the company that systematically gave the world Meccano, Hornby Dublo electric trains, Dinky Toys and Scalextric, remains an independent British company a century after it was started by entrepreneur Frank Hornby in Liverpool. This is something of a rarity in the UK toy industry, which has seen many brands disappear in the face of global competition and many businesses either close or be sold to foreign ownership. During the last forty years Hornby has been continually swimming against the tide. Strategies have changed. Innovation, new products and diversification have been important - so too have divestments. There have been different owners and several changes of strategic leadership. But recently the company’s prospects have been transformed. Production has been moved to China, enabling the company to provide more detail without increasing prices. Pre-tax profits more than doubled between 2001 and 2002 and the latest interim results show a further doubling. Hornby’s survival is testimony to the importance of branding and reputation. This case study was written by John L Thompson with co-operation from Hornby plc in 2002. It is for classroom discussion and should not be taken to reflect either effective or ineffective management.

  • 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.
