Architects and engineers unite

The erector set, a toy invented by a A. C. Gilbert in 1911, is still going strong today. You can still get a Ferris Wheel set that is based on A. C. Gilberts original design on the website Fat Brain Toys.  A. C. Gilbert’s manufactured the erector set until its demise as a company in 1967.  The toy is now distributed by NIKKO America; a company also known for their radio controlled cars and trucks.
