4 Are you curious about How buildings are made? How bridges work? How chemical plants operate? The Girder and Panel, Bridge and Turnpike, and Hydrodynamic building sets were developed to help answer these questions! Tektōn Firestation The building sets are designed to be replicas of actual buildings and bridges using a 1/87 scale (also known as HO scale) Investigate the strongest structure for a tall building with the Girder and Panel set. Or the strongest design for a bridge with the Bridge and Turnpike set. Or have fun pumping water through tanks and changing the water flow by opening and closing valves in the piping with the Hydrodynamic set! Accessories These classic sets help you understand and test the basic concepts of building strength (physics) and how water moves (fluid dynamics) in a fun, and creative way. The parts in each of these sets are interchangeable with the other sets, and the sets can be combined to create entire cities: complete with office buildings, airports, highways, and manufacturing plants. Tektōn Tower Building 6 7

5 Introduction to your Tektōn TM Plaza Set. About the Toy: The Tektōn Plaza Set (appropriate for ages 6 and up) allows you to design and construct quite large and magnificent buildings! Experiment with cantilever construction and unique architectural designs. This set can be used to build office buildings, department stores, hospitals, and much more: your imagination is the limit! The sets includes plastic columns and beams which are interlocked together to create the basic outside frame, just like real buildings are built using iron beams and columns. Then, thin plastic panels are added to the outside of the frame, creating solid walls, windows and doors on the frame. The building is completed with roof panels, decorative flags and signs. Because the parts are scaled to the common HO scale (1/87), many accessories such as cars, trucks, trees, and trains can be added to your model city. About Girder & Panel TM Girder & Panel differs from other construction sets in that it lets children experiment with real engineering principles. The sets, which are perfect for science fair projects, allow the builder to investigate and create structures that are both tall and strong. Originally introduced by Kenner Products in the 1950 s, there is an entire generation of engineers and architects who have many fond memories of playing with this set as children. Fifty years later, we are proud to be able to bring this inspirational toy back to market! Some of the buildings you can construct (instructions on pages 15 17) Remember you can make your own variations and designs the possibilities are endless! About Bridge Street Toys A privately held company, Bridge Street Toys is located in a suburb of Boston, Massachusetts. The company was founded by two engineers who strive to provide fun products that will inspire children to pursue careers in engineering, architecture, and technology. 8 9

6 TM R0.05 Included with Tektōn TM Plaza 192 beams 3 footings 3 footings 40 stubs 128 columns UNDER CONSTRUCTION 8 signs 72 window panels 10 door panels 10 flags 18 roof panels 10 utility wall panels 18 lobby window panels 1 idea book 1 storage case 1 template for notching panels 10 11

7 How The Parts Work 1st Start with a solid foundation. Place the footings together to form the shape of the structure you will build. Another column or stub can be used to lock the beams in place. place panel onto these 3 pegs Like this for a rectangular shaped building. 2nd Take the columns (see page 4 if you need help figuring out what the column looks like) and place them in the square holes in the foundation pieces (footings). 4th Once your structure is built, attach the panels to the side using the three pegs. Start with the ground floor and then work your way up the side of your structure. 5th Now for the finishing touches. 3rd Connect pairs of columns with a beam. The notch on the top of the beam slides into the top slot in the column. Roofs: Lay the roof panels on the top of your building. Push them down gently until they are flush with the beams. Stubs may be used to secure the roof panels in place, though they are not necessary. Tip: The columns may be a tight fit the first time that you put them into the footings. However, after a couple of uses, they fit perfectly and are easy to use! Flags and Flag Poles: Bend the flag slightly and insert notches in flag between two small posts on flagpole. Then insert the flag pole into the top of a stub or column

8 How The Parts Work (continued) Blueprints (Boutique & Restaurant Plaza) 1/4 inch sq. 6th (extra info) When your building has an inside corner, the panels will not fit because a beam or another panel is in the way. You will need to cut the two panels that will form the inside corner. Once you have notched your panels, you are ready to attach them to your structure. Take one panel and trace the corner to be cut using the provided stencil. 1/4 inch { Take the other panel and trim 1/4 inch off the entire side. notched panel placed onto structure panel s side was cut to make it fit Extra Credit: Build a cantilever section on your structure. A Cantilever is any part of the building that is not supported using columns from the ground level, and functions as an overhang. Cantilevers can be many stories high and can be as wide as your building structure. Your cantilever can be built with or without the support of a second level of beams

10 Did you know? Did you know? An architect is a building designer. This person considers the construction site while planning, designing, and overseeing how a building might look and function. View from the Empire State Building, the 2nd tallest building in the United States. The word skyscraper was originally used to describe a tall mast or sail on a sailing ship. To qualify as a skyscraper the building has to be at least 500 feet (150m) tall. There is a difference between structures called buildings and those called towers. Buildings refer to structures designed for habitation (such as offices and apartments). Meanwhile, the word towers refers to very tall telecommunications and observation structures. Civil engineers are concerned with how a building project will fit into the community in which it s being built. They worry about such things as electric and communications supply, possible flooding, the sewer service, and other structural issues. It takes both engineers and architects to create buildings such as world s tallest skyscraper: Taipei 101, located in Taiwan. 1,671 ft 1,486 ft 1,450 ft 1,250 ft The CN Tower in Toronto, Canada (pictured here) is considered the tallest man-made structure in the world! It is sometimes hard to define which building in the world is the tallest because buildings can be measured in three ways: tallest to roof, tallest to structural top, and tallest to occupied floor. The first skyscraper was constructed in Chicago, Illinois, in 1885, and was ten stories high. CN Tower 1,815 feet high Taipei 101 Petronas Towers Sears Tower Empire State Building Until the 19 th century, buildings were rarely over 6 floors high. The development of steel and concrete, and the invention of elevators and strong water pumps (so that there would be running water in tall buildings) were very important in creating the skyscrapers we have today

11 CAD Drawings CAD (which stands for Computer Aided Design ) is a computer program that helps real engineers make sketches of their work. The program allows you to rotate your creation, so that it can be viewed from different sides and angles top view (bird s eye view) 3-D view of the building (as seen from the top and side of the structure) Hotel Plaza Scale: 1:8 Created by: BST 9/21/2005 Material: Plastic view from the front view from the side 20 21
