Excerpt from Electric Toy Making for Amateurs: Including Batteries, Magnets, Motors, Miscellaneous Toys and Dynamo Construction Electric toy making is a very comprehensive title, one which may be made to embrace far more ground than this work pretends to cover. In the realms of amateur work of all kinds - mechanics, natural science, and even legerdemain or natural magic - electricity can be made to play an important part. The methods of applying it to simple constructions, within the reach and scope of amateurs, constitute the theme of this book. The effort has been to present the reader with a suggestive line of experimentation and construction, and to open a field within which his own ideas can have indefinite scope and extent. It is believed that little in the way of actual toy making can be done outside of the general limits here defined.
