Download or read book Diecast Toy Cars of the 1950s 1960s written by Andrew Ralston and published by Veloce Publishing. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collecting diecast toy cars has become an increasingly popular hobby over the last 25 years. Many of the classic diecast cars of the 1950s and 1960s are now valuable collectors' items, and surviving examples in mint and boxed condition regularly fetch significant sums at specialist auctions. Diecast Toy Cars of the 1950s & 1960s provides a comprehensive survey of the companies that made these toys, not only in Britain but in other European countries, the USA, Japan and beyond. Major names such as Dinky Toys, Corgi Toys, Spot-On and Matchbox (Great Britain), Solido (France), Marklin and Gama (Germany ), Tekno (Denmark) and Tootsietoy (USA) are examined, but a unique feature of the book is the wealth of information provided on many smaller and more obscure brands. These include Crescent, Budgie, Chad Valley and Lone Star (UK), CIJ and JRD (France), Dalia (Spain), Buby (Argentina), Gamda (Israel) and many others about which information is hard to come by. A special chapter is devoted to early Japanese diecast models by Cherryca Phenix, Model Pet and Diapet, which are among the rarest and most sought-after of all diecasts. Fascinating insights into company histories are provided, together with 300 photographs of rare examples of the toys themselves, in mint condition with their original boxes. A further unique feature is the inclusion of a large selection of colourful and evocative illustrations from catalogues and period trade advertisements. For the newcomer to the collecting hobby, this book will provide an ideal guide to the history of the manufacturers active in this field, while experienced collectors will make many new discoveries. At the end of the book, readers will find a handy glossary listing the names of many of the companies that manufactured diecast toy cars in the 1950s and 1960s.

Download or read book The Bumper Book of Lone Star Diecast Models and Toys 1948 88 written by Geoffrey S. Ambridge and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In July 1939, the humble beginnings of what was originally Toys and Houseware, were based in a pair of below street-level lock-up garages one capable of garaging two single-decker buses side by side, beneath the forecourt of "The Bridge Garage" in Green Lanes, Palmers Green, north London. Within a year the original company, registered a change of name to Die Casting Machine Tools Ltd. The founder of what was often referred to as DCMT was Aubrey Robert "Bob" Mills who, with a partner, Sidney James "Sid" Ambridge designed, built and sold uncomplicated die-casting machines which used molten zinc alloy to produced castings from a die. The die comprised two mild-steel squared halves set up above a cast iron base at about waist level and was operated by the application of manual pressure. Two levers - one of which closed and opened the two halves of a die; one half being movable on stout rods and the other half securely fixed to the machine and the molten metal receptacle. A second lever was used to push down a supply of molten zinc-alloy (Mazak), through the feeder channel (or sprue) to completely fill the cavities of the casting within the two parts of the die, after which the first lever would be drawn back towards the die-caster thus opening the die and the casting would then be ejected into a bin. During WW2 DCMT produced castings for hand grenades and, its believed, aircraft components. The use of mazak for anything other than the War effort, was forbidden - so the manufacture of metal toys was a non-starter at that time but, nonetheless, some tentative experiments produced a few models in coloured plastic. In 1945, the ban on making metal toys was lifted and DCMT built dies to the order of "The Crescent Toy Co. Ltd.", a potential rival company, then, also in north London. Two different Car and two different Lorry moulds were somehow acquired, or built, by DCMT based upon "Tootsietoy" (U.S.A.) originals to quickly get some wheeled models out and on the shelves of toy/model stores in order to meet the demand for such objects that hadnt been obtainable for six years. In 1949, DCMT parted company with "Crescent Toy" and began to market toys and a range of tools under the uninspiring initials "D.C.M.T." and later "Slikka Toys" and "Slikka Tools". Regrettably, these brand-names didnt catch the public imagination, and so a more suitable name needed to be found. In 1949, they produced their first Western-type cowboy cap pistol called the "Lone Star" which bore "Slikka Toy" markings. The name "Lone Star" had a Western flavour about it with connotations of Texas. In 1951, the first written evidence of the use of the name "Lone Star" was discovered in a DCMT advert which offered a range of juvenile Western-style clothes, hat and accessories, i.e. Sheriff Badge, "Range Rider" Mk.1. cap-pistol (with dummy bullets) and holster set, a sheath knife, "Range Rider" Spurs and a Woggle for a Neckerchief.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This accessible volume presents both the mechanics of structural equation modeling (SEM) and specific SEM strategies and applications. The editor, along with an international group of contributors, and editorial advisory board are leading methodologists who have organized the book to move from simpler material to more statistically complex modeling approaches. Sections cover the foundations of SEM; statistical underpinnings, from assumptions to model modifications; steps in implementation, from data preparation through writing the SEM report; and basic and advanced applications, including new and emerging topics in SEM. Each chapter provides conceptually oriented descriptions, fully explicated analyses, and engaging examples that reveal modeling possibilities for use with readers' data. Many of the chapters also include access to data and syntax files at the companion website, allowing readers to try their hands at reproducing the authors' results"--
