Meccanographs

Well,in the beginning of the year I said I was going to write more regularly.And here we are more than 9 months later,so you can see how that went.Anyway a quick update:I sold most of my radio's,because I had to choose between them or my other interest:Meccano and other metal construction toys.The latter won and I am now spending my time building.
So far I seem to make two type of things Steam engines and Meccanographs.

This is the classic Meccanograph,which is a design from the late 1920's.I think the very first one was designed in 1916.Since then many variations have been thought out by Meccano and the people who build with it,both with and without motors.I have now made seven.Mostly made from Meccano or Temsi(Dutch equivalent),one from Marklin and one from Trix.

In the upcoming posts I will take a look at them in detail.
