		Meccano is made in France now, which is metric.) It is possible to re-tap a Meccano hub to 8-32, but is has to be done very carefully to avoid breaking the tap off in a part that may be worth a lot more than the tap.
		Meccano and Erector are mostly thought of in terms of sets that include a selection of parts, a little bin of nuts and bolts, and an instruction manual showing how to build various models.
		Meccano gears and couplings are bored for a 4mm shaft, but that’s a close undersize to 3/16", and you can drill and/or ream a 3/16" bore in any of the standard Meccano parts.

	Meccano the early years
		Meccano must be the oldest toy on the market today that has enjoyed uninterrupted progress since its inception 98 years ago.
		Although he had registered the Meccano name, Hornby and Elliot were still trading in their own names and it was obvious that a company had to be formed.
		Two very important and informative books were published by Meccano and these are "Standard Mechanisms" (1929) and "How To Use Meccano Parts" (1931) these are still standards in their own right and the information therein applies equally today as it did 65 years ago.

	Meccano Ltd - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Meccano Ltd was a British toy company established in 1908 by Frank Hornby in England to manufacture and distribute Meccano and other model toys and kits created by the company.
		To manufacture and distribute Meccano, Hornby needed to raise capital to invest in factory and plant, and this resulted in the establishment of Meccano Ltd in 1908, with Hornby as the sole proprietor.
		Up to this point Meccano was being manufactured in England at the small factory in West Derby Road, Liverpool, but it soon became apparent that it could not meet the growing demand for Meccano, and in 1914 a new factory was built in Binns Road, Liverpool.

	Meccano
		Meccano in this era was mostly nickel plate and brass.
		Originally intended as an educational toy to stimulate the brains of Edwardian children, Meccano launched Hornby on a career which was to take him all the way to Parliament as one of Liverpool's most famous sons.
		In 1979 Meccano's factory at Binns Road in Liverpool closed its doors for the last time, and the company was bought by a French corporation to be relaunched as Meccano SA, based in Calais.

		Meccano is het speelgoed geweest van ontelbare kinderen (M/V voornamelijk echter M) die later meestal ingenieur of technieker werden.
		Het 'nieuwe' Meccano dat nu op de markt komt na de overname door het Japanse Nikko is wat mij betreft niet vergelijkbaar meer met het oorspronkelijk bedachte algemene bouwmateriaal.
		Deze waanzinnig grote en zware kranen waren in hun tijd (1860-1900) zo'n beetje het sterkste wat toen gebouwd kon worden.

	Meccano Metal Construction Kits Alan Esplen's Meccano pages
		Meccano is a metal (some plastic parts) model construction system made up of strips, plates, girders, wheels and gears, based on the principles of mechanical engineering.
		The range of Meccano parts was reduced from that of pre-war days, many of the more specialist parts such as the digger bucket, and train parts dropped.

	The Meccano Crystal Radio Receiving Set
		I grew up in England (born 1931) and though I was always interested in both crystal sets and Meccano, I never heard mention of a Meccano crystal set.
		Meccano then marketed in its place a conventionally made set that I do not think contained any Meccano parts.
		The Meccano company over there had designed a crystal set using a number of Meccano parts and Frank Hornby was completely entranced by its performance.

	Welcome!
		Meccano, the greatest and most long-lasting metal construction system toy in the history of the world, was the brainchild of Frank Hornby, a bookkeeper at a provision merchant's office in Liverpool, England.
		Living in a part of the world that became increasingly remote from the Meccano mainstream, I had always been frustrated by the lack of availability and the unaffordable prices of original Meccano spares.
		In his preface, Bert wrote: "It is no exaggeration to claim that thousands of engineers, scientists, architects, and other professionals cut their teeth on Meccano and owe a debt of gratitude to its creator for sowing the seeds of their careers in young but receptive minds.

		The vertical axis of the earth is, just as in reality, tilted at an angle of 23½° with respect to the orbital plane so that it can be made clear how the seasons elapse over the year.

	US Meccano Motors
		The brush and commutator arrangement in the Lionel motor is different from the early Meccano motor; the Lionel arrangement is generally similar to the Erector P58 motor of the same era, and also similar to the arrangement Meccano used after around 1924.
		It should be pointed out that the Meccano patents seem to cover only the idea of mounting the motor between perforated plates, and not the internal construction of the motor.
		In any case, the motor is only listed in the US Meccano Magazine and in a late 1926/ early 1927 advertising booklet, "How Jack Discovered the Perfect Toy" (the same text as in the booklet was in the same issue of the MM).
