	Tinkertoy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Tinkertoy Construction Set was created in 1914—one year after the A.
		Tinkertoys have been used to create surprisingly complex machines, including Danny Hillis' tic-tac-toe-playing computer (now on display at the Computer Museum in Boston) and a robot at Cornell University in 1998.
		Hasbro owns the Tinkertoy brand and currently produces both Tinkertoy Plastic and Tinkertoy Classic (wood) sets and parts.

	myregion.org: Tinkertoy Symbolizes Future Framework
		The myregion.org Tinkertoy logo is constructed of seven round pieces that represent the seven partner counties involved in this project, which, when connected by the sticks, add up to 13 pieces, symbolizing the number of “Essential Activities” or issues being studied.
		The Tinkertoy was introduced in 1914, the result of two friends from two walks of life but with one interest.
		The Tinkertoy lives on today, thriving in a global marketplace and as the myregion.org symbol of how individual pieces can comfortably fit into a whole and create a strong framework for the future.

	Tinkertoys and tic-tac-toe, p.123
		Imagine a Tinkertoy device that plays go-moku narabe (a game played on an 11-by-11 board in which one player tries to place five fl stones in a row while preventing an opponent from creating a row of five white stones).
		For example, the memory spindles use a binary principle: the presence or absence of spools denotes the status of a particular square on a tic-tac-toe board.
		Tinkertoy purists will be happy to know that the M.I.T. students stuck to the original wooden sticks and spools with only a few exceptions.

	Eye Weekly - Tinkertoy story - 07.17.03
		Tinkertoy has caught me in the many layers of sound they painstakingly create.
		Tinkertoy's sound encompasses live instruments (snippets of cello, flute and dulcimer were all heavily manipulated into the spines of full songs), found noise and dry doses of humour.
		In many ways, Tinkertoy bring to mind electroacoustic composers and understated indie-rock projects as much as they do producers of minimal techno.

	Tinkertoy robots give insight into how humans walk
		It doesn't have a brain or a heart, and its walk is a little like the scarecrow's, but a small headless, armless, trunkless two-legged robot toy, developed at Cornell, can walk, wobble, hobble, limp, stride and stagger.
		The fact that this robot, made of plastic Tinkertoy parts and a few odds and ends, is stable in motion is giving mechanical engineers here new thoughts about human walking.
		Coleman constructed the Tinkertoy device as follows: he stuck two green rod legs, bottomed with rounded yellow feet, into a red cross-bar hip, along with several orange washers and green hinges.

		Coleman and Ruina's mathematical models and computer simulations did not predict the success of the walker, and their computer models are still too simple to explain it.

	Tinkertoys and tic-tac-toe, p. 120
		Each spindle is a sequence of smooth spools connected axially by sticks and arranged in nine groups of three each, one group for each square of the tic-tac-toe board.
		The presence or absence of spools from a group indicates that a corresponding square of the tic-tac-toe board is vacant or is occupied by an X or O. The Tinkertoy computer is not fully autornatic: a human operator must crank the read head up and down and must manage its input.
		From a distance the Tinkertoy computer resembles a childhood fantasy gone wild or, as one of the group members remarked, a spool-and-stick version of the "space slab" from the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey.

		Every Tinkertoy Classic building set comes in a sturdy canister package with a metal lid and bottom.
		Charles H. Pajeau and Robert Pettit, the founders of The Toy Tinkers of Evanston, Illinois, and the creators of the TINKERTOY construction set, knew that the "Thousand Wonder Builder" would continue to inspire the imaginations of children because of its easy-to-use, yet versatile construction system.
		The inspiration for the TINKERTOY construction set came to Pajeau while he was watching children play with pencils and empty spools of thread.

		Adding holes on all sides of a round wooden wheel sized for sticks included in the set, they named their creation Tinkertoys.
		Tinkertoys joined a host of other construction toys in the early 20th century, including Lincoln Logs and Erector Sets, helping kids to learn by exercising what we now think of as "spatial intelligence." Originally intended for younger boys, after 1919 Tinkertoys attracted budding engineers through the addition of an electric motor.
		Playskool acquired Tinkertoy in 1985 and redesigned the toy in 1992 in honor of its 80th anniversary.

		As we are continuously trying to improve the TINKERTOY Classic set, we may substitute other types of wood in the future.
		TINKERTOY Classic pieces are larger than previous wood TINKERTOY sets.
		However, it may be difficult for the plastic sticks to fit into the wood spools because they don't have notches in the ends.

	Tinkertoy - Noise Factory Records - Properly Chilled - Downtempo Music & Culture
		As with idm, the dreamy style of trance employed by Tinkertoy isn't dance music at all, which isn't to say you couldn't dance to it, it's just not expressly made for that.
		This is the kind of music you listen to in private times, when you're working, kicking back with headphones on, or taking a long drive.
		So what's the verdict: Tinkertoy's "Electric Wilderness" is a thoroughly pleasurable, dreamy-minimal-trance listening experience that I highly recommended to anyone with an interest in the softer side of trance.

		Tinkertoys were, for most of us, an integral part of our earliest years.
		Pencils, spools of thread, straws, toothpicks, Elmer’s Glue, Scotch Tape, Fun-Tac, Styrofoam, yarn, blocks, and sticks were all ‘Tinkertoys’ at one time in our lives.
		Tinkertoys, and how they were used during our formative years, are analogous to the manner in which we construct a worldview.

		To make matters worse, the company responsible for Tinkertoys, Hasbro, hasn't updated their site for some years and carries links to online stores that don't even carry the product.
