Meccano Manuals

1962-1969

Downloads of Meccano Manuals

This page contains downloads of all the manuals published between 1962 and 1969 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)

Note that initially there were separate editions for each language. However in late 1962 it was realised that because of the minimal use of language in these new style editions that several languages could be combined into a single manual. This resulted in just two separate multi-language editions being produced from then on:-
1 - E/F/H/D/I (English/Francias/Hollands/Deutsch/Italiano)
2 - E/E/P/S/N (English/Espanol/Portugues/Svensk/Norsk)
