This kit is usable for playing either with a big Cable Car or two Cable Cars. It includes two different functions: The winch collects the pulling string from one cable car. A clip on the cog makes it possible to hold the cable car in position. You can use the same pieces for the Station. . The Station should be fixed “hillside” to allow the shuttle service of two cable cars.
Toys built to show the mechanism rather than hide it.
The maker
Kraul
Bavaria, Germany
Kraul has been in the same family for three generations, and each generation brought a different trade to it. Mara Kraul started the business in the 1920s on artistic embroidery and knitting. Her son Walter, a mathematics teacher at the Rudolf Steiner School in Munich,… began designing waterwheels and cable cars for children who had to build them before they would work. He took over in 1976. His son Christoph, a meteorologist and physicist, joined in 1989 and designs the experiment kits.
