...and guess who will shortly be making a working scale model in Meccano of this Jules Vernian contraption...Timtin?

OMG Brian - you're almost correct! Only this evening I've been
attempting to replicate a version of Thomas Fowler's ternary
calculating machine made out of Meccano for an upcoming show.
Balanced ternary arithmetic has some amazing properties!

Damn! - why didn't Mum tell me that Lego wouldn't work. I wasted an entire childhood!

Ah Tobyjj - like several other 4-letter words, we don't like to use the 'L' word in Meccano circles!
Btw, today is Meccano inventor Frank Hornby's 150th. birthday, hence today's Google logo.

The perfect instrument on which to play Nocturnes!

I see another meccano project here...full size maybe even.

Brian, that's the sort of piano on which I'd have loved to
have played duets with my rather attractive piano teacher!
Unfortunately, it was the 'pupil' after me who, I was convinced
at the time, played primo to her secondo or vice-versa.
Regards, Tim.

Q1. What's the opposite of a piano bed?
A. A bed piano!

Q2. How was pedalling done on it?
A. No idea!

Is this what you get if you take the 'c' and the 't' from a Kia Picanto?

This Japanese pianist's playing sure is hot!
