Awsome is the word!
Quick n dirty translation:
1.
"LEGO mursten" ~ "LEGO Building Brick"
"BYGGEBOK" = "Building Book"
2.
"Her er..." = "Here all the single LEGO separate parts are"
3.
"Med LEGO man bygger" = "With LEGO one builds, plays and (hygger ?= cuts???)
"LEGO MOSAIK is developing, educating and fits with the LEGO parts
LEGO MURSTEN with the many studs gives most building options
LEGO PLASTIC CITY PLAN along with the part builidng creates system in the
Playing
LEGO SYSTEM IN PLAY is the best toy for the entire family
LEGO MURSTEN that has real good (stoerrelseforhald ?= strength???) is made with
great accuracy and of the best materials
LEGO MURSTEN cannot be connected to other building sets (They must mean brands,
Tore's comment) Therefor, always look for the name that guarantees the quality.
LEGO SYSTEM IN PLAY gives the best building opportunities for the model train
people.
LEGO MOSAIK - LEGO MURSTEN - LEGO SYSTEM I LEG
is the best family hobby of all times"

"Here's three little children with full music
and each one has their own box of mosaik...
Here Lise builds Mosaik for Vovse...
and here's the Mosaik that Lise built for Vovse,
can you see who it shows?
LEGO MURSTEN MOSAIK
One can also build with Mosaik, here you can see how it is done."

"LEGO MURSTEN MOSAIK
is also useful to create models for embroidery and (stromojarbeider = ???)

"The drawing shows how the bricks are joined. - So that one brick always covers
the gap between two underlying stones.
When building corners, you use cornerstones, or you place bricks in corner
shape, and one brick on top of the gap between the cornered bricks, then you
keep building upwards - but remember to always build joined.
Windows and doors have notches on their sides that fit to the cutouts in the
bricks. Put the windows and doors in these cutouts, and they are held steadily.
The principle for building roofs are shown in figure four. Note how the first
brick of the roof is placed, so it goes one row of studs outside and inside the
brick below - thus you get the roof-beard(?) in front and a well wide fundament
to start the "stairwork" upwards. Keep remembering to build joined.
Figure five shows the roof constuction from the outside. Note the construction
of the roof corner, the strategy is a combination of fig. two and four.
While building a pyramid shaped roof, one must keep in mind that each "step"
must made so that there is an entire foundation to put next brick upon.
Figure seven shows the principle of a roof with (kvist - don't know the English
word for it but picture is self-explaining). Also remember to let the "step" go
throughout and build joined, this with bring the most solid construction."

"Here are the baseplates to the houses from page 10, with the first layer of
bricks attached. Keep building likewise."

"Nr 1. Small building plates
can be laid in countless ways and thus make the baic plan for the work. But
always remember to let a LEGO brick join the plates together.
Nr 2. Windows and door
has a side notch, that fits into the cutouts in the bricks. But if you build ½
brick wide, you have to build with one brick rotated ..."
Nr 3. Named bars
are very decorative at small shops so remember to reserve space for them. They
can also be built in in the walls above the shopping windows.
Nr 4. The small, round bricks
are useful for porches, extensions, entrances etc.
Nr 5. Bent stones
can be built out from the plate by putting a whole bent brick outside. The next
two bent bricks are placed so the the circle is closed. And then you continue
that way.
19.
Nr 6. Garage building
starts with putting the port frame into the holes on the garage plate. Then you
put a ½ brick to the first studs, so that it holds the frame...

Modern buildings

PLASTIC CITY PLAN
protects the table and puts system into play.
23.
- and it is educational on traffic
24.
This is how the garage plate and plates are put together to make an Esso service
station, that fits into its place in the Town Plan. The strategi is about the
same for a Falck station.
