Meccano Manuals

French Language (UK-Liverpool) Meccano Manuals

Details and Downloads of the Manuals

This section covers French language instruction manuals for Meccano sets up to 1962. It excludes those French manuals which were published by Meccano (France) for the French domestic market, which are dealt with on a separate page.

Note - From late 1962 all manuals were multi-language, so the standard Liverpool manuals were used.

Scans of other French language manuals would be much appreciated.
