Each chapter begins by looking at the mechanisms and materials used in some of these traditional moving toys, goes on to consider possible variations, and describes how to make a related moving toy. It continues, from this basis, to develop a design for an automaton. The book shows that designing and making these simple but wonderfully satisfying mechanical devices is fun, and that good results can be achieved in many different ways, using a variety of materials, tools and equipment such as wood and wire, card and paper, bamboo, string, tin plate and feathers.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Sports & HobbiesTopic: Technology & EngineeringRelease Year: 2018 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
