Model: Servetti's Trolley Factory Modeller: Ron Kurtz, Gloucester, ON Notes: This remarkable model is an original by Sr.Giuseppe Servetti of Italy. The model was re-constructed by the late Dr.Keith Cameron of USA, who subsequently wrote it up as a modelplan that was published as a Constructor Quarterly Special. In it, four-wheeled trolleys are assembled in Plastic Meccano parts. Each completed trolley rolls to another area for dismantling and the separated parts are returned for re-use. This cycle of operations continues endlessly. Ron has re-designed some of the electricals to ensure reliability in operation.
