Clarke, (author of “2001, A Space Odessy”, etc.). About 11 minutes into the interview, he made about a minute’s worth of comments about his pleasure as a boy with Meccano, lamenting that today’s engineers, who live on the Internet, may come up with impractical designs because they haven’t had the direct experience that Meccano provides with real-life structures, gears, etc.
The total interview is 49.5 min long and at 11.25 min he talks about his “Beloved Meccano Set”.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1579439198854{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”][player id=891][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
