BAYKO Sets #0 to #2 Instruction Manual -
1946 to 1947 20 Pages - Earlier Version

This 20 page Instruction Manual was produced, in 1946, by the Plimpton Engineering Company for the first post-war BAYKO sets.

This version was superceded, probably late in 1947 or, possibly, in early 1948, by an updated version, with the differences detailed below.

It now seems pretty certain that there was an earlier version with an error, on page three [right], the page which shows the contents of the sets of the period.

It is not immediately clear whether this was simply a type-setting error, or something a little more fundamental...

I will add further information as soon as I am able - please excuse me, I'm in mid house move at the moment.

When set #3 was introduced in 1948, this manual, or its later equivalent, was still included, along with a specific set #3 manual.

It comprises 20 pages, printed in red and black on white gloss paper, with a full colour cover.

The pages highlighted in yellow, below, show differences from the later version.

Most of the differences are the use of ½ Brick Rods in the later version and, for some reason, a reduction in the use of Tie Bars in the later version.

Page 4 is particularly interesting as it makes reference to BAYKO set #5 - post-war remember!!!

Pages 19 and 20 show photographs of BAYKO models incorporating pre-war Large bases and Wall Capping - in a post-war manual remember!!!
