Travelling Jib Crane
Built by Alan Esplen in March 2026
Originally published in 1904, and built with 1907–08 tin plate, folded edge parts as contained in Mechanics Made Easy sets. The folded edge girders are rare parts, only produced in late 1906 and 1907. In 1907 the Meccano angle girders, like the perforated strips, became solid steel.
The hook is not original. The weight on the cord is from 1911. The tools came with the 1907–08 parts and I believe are original.
