As we have said previously, it is nice that the Meccano Magazine is still published from Binns Road, Liverpool, as it was in 1916. The current issue contains a history of Meccano electric motors since 1914, which may be of interest to those who used such motors in the model cars of their youth, and a description of a 2-speed automatic gearbox as used in a Meccano model of an Austin 7, we hope of the modern variety.
