Dutch Meccano Guild meeting in Ede Sept. 23rd, 2000

Here are some impressions of the Dutch Meccano Guild meeting in Ede September 23rd, 2000. Of all pictures, a larger version is available if you click on them. I've also added some movies, coded with RealVideo. You will need the latest (free) version of the RealPlayer to view them. The movies are available in 20 kbits/s streams for 28k modems, 45 kbits/s streams for ISDN (and 57k modems, if you're lucky), and 80 kbits/s streams for double ISDN. If you have a slow Internet connection, but want to see the better quality movies, choose the 'download' option (instead of 'play'); the movie will first be downloaded to your computer and then be played.

All movies have been slowed down 2.5 times (except with 'vadertje tijd'), to keep enough detail of the movement!

Steam-engine

Here is yet another model of a steam-engine, albeit a very beautiful one. I couldn't resist adding the movie, although the movement is pretty well-known...

'Vadertje Tijd'

This is a model called 'Vadertje Tijd' (father time). It is a clock, slowly driven by 'father time' himself. The movie is not very interesting, but it shows the movement of the fatherfigure nicely.

Clock

To round off this impression, the well-known model of the mantelpiece-clock.
