Well, I didn't comment yet in this thread, because I'm not an engineer or a
teacher (though I did start in engineering at uni), and I hadn't really thought
much about it. I did have one small Meccano set when I was a kid, but it didn't
take me long to lose all those darn nuts & bolts, so I never really did
anything with it.
But having read your letter, I think it does a pretty good comparison. I
wonder, though how "juniorisation" is going to affect that comparison, and what
(if anything) Meccano is planning in the way of new directions? Best keep on
your toes, TLC!!!
(Oh, and it's pretty cool to get a mention in such an auspicious letter,
thanks!)

Crikey ROSCO, all I did was write a letter, you built the bridge!

Meccano is also juniorizing, and putting out more "models" and less basic
sets.
