Description

Written by an avid tin can toy maker, this 1919 volume includes instructions on making tin can locomotives, cars, trolleys and more. Perhaps the most famous tin can toy was the tin can telephone. Sometimes called a "lover's phone," the tin can telephone connects two diaphragms (tin cans) with a taut string or wire which transmits sound through vibrations from one end to the other. Interestingly, for a short period of time, tin can telephones were marketed commercially as a niche competitor to electrical telephones. Some of these were even installed in elaborate systems on trains so that passengers could communicate with others in different cars. Since Alexander Graham Bell's official patent on the electrical telephone, however, the tin can phone has only been used as a children's toy and is commonly made from items like paper cups today.
