Downloads of Meccano Manuals
This page contains downloads of all the manuals published between 1922 and 1927 that I can find. For convenience they are split into separate years. Click on the thumbnail to download the required edition in pdf format. It also shows known editions that I don't currently have. Scans of these would be appreciated.
Confirmation of those print codes in red is also required (Scans of these manuals would also be appreciated). Also scans of of any other editions, especially other overseas/colonial editions would be gratefully received.
Note - The numbers in green are the reference numbers from the list of USA Meccano manuals produced by Kendrick Bisset. See Kendick Bisset's website on Meccano in the United States.
Information on copyright dates etc. is available for many of the American manuals on the USA © Info page.
WARNING
Some of these manuals feature content that contains outdated attitudes and ideas of a racist nature. Such ideas were wrong at the time and are wrong now. However not to include them would be to deny that they ever existed. This would also be wrong. For this reason all manual content has been included.
