■ You step into a dazzling new
illl J jl world when you own the great
new speed Erector. A world in
which you become the master of mighty me-
chanical monsters—creating them—making them
run—just as your hands command.
Take a good look at that towering Bascule bridge.
The patented Erector square girder with inter-
locking edges makes it just like real engineering.
When you start up the powerful Erector electric
engine, wheels whirr, gears crunch and the
mighty all-steel structure is raised high into the air.
Or look at that walking beam engine. Doesn't it
look keen? And wouldn't you like to build and
run that busy-looking magnetic crane? You can
make it raise or lower—swing to the right or left.
Its electromagnet is so strong, it grabs up steel
girders before it touches them.
You can build all of the engineering models
shown on this page—and dozens more—with one
Erector Set. There are more thrills—more hours
of fun—packed in an Erector Set than anything
else you. can own. Tell Dad Erector is what you
want most for Ghristmas.
