	Erector Set History - Invention of the Erector Set
		The Erector set quickly became one of the most popular toys of all time: living rooms across the country were transformed into miniature metropoles, filled with skyscrapers, bridges and railways.
		It is difficult for anyone under the age of 35 today to appreciate just how popular the Erector set was for over half a century.
		A.C. Gilbert was a native Oregonian who was born in Salem and was the famous inventor of Erector Sets and Gilbert Chemistry Sets.

	Erector Set - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Erector Set is the trade name of a construction toy that was wildly popular in the United States during much of the 20th century.
		The Erector Set was invented by A.C. Gilbert of Connecticut in 1913.
		Dozens, perhaps hundreds, of different Erector Set kits have been made over the decades, most famously the "No. 12 1/2" deluxe kit that came with blueprints for the "Mysterious Walking Giant" robot.

	[No title]
		At their peak of popularity in the 1950s there were 12 separate levels of sets, from 00 (which were almost useless and sold mostly as kid bait, to get the twerps agitating for something larger) to 0, and then from 1 to 10.
		Used sets of all vintages are still available, but you have to look for them, and they are not cheap unless they are heavily damaged from rust or missing most of their parts.
		No single set is ever likely to have enough "stuff" in it to enable the enthusiast to piece together a reasonable robot arm or chassis--and you’ll be paying for realistic steering wheels, windshields, and other specific gimcracks of zero usefulness.

	Erector
		Erector sets were extremely popular, especially during the "Renaissance" period (so named by author Bill Bean) of 1946 to 1956.
		The Gilbert sets from the 50's (my favorite era) are made of sturdy nickel plated steel and are designed to teach sound construction techniques.
		(The "modern" sets sold in stores now are flimsy and do not spark a child's imagination nearly as much.) As soon as my son was born, my own interest in the original Gilbert Erector sets was rekindled.
