The Young Engineers Bridge Kit
Build models of the Roman arch, the classic truss bridge, and suspension bridge
![The Young Engineers Bridge Kit](https://www.searchamateur.com/pictures/building-bridges-kit-suspension-bridge.jpg)
This model kit is an introduction to structural engineering and the art
of building bridges, and it has easy-to-follow instructions, tools, and
paints that allow children to build faithfully-detailed models of historical
spans including the ancient Roman arch, the classic truss bridge, and
the suspension bridge. The casting compound and molds produce
authentic-looking replicas of the tensile stress-reducing voussoirs that
the Roman Empire employed in their bridges and viaducts; the truss
bridge provides lessons in the symbiotic relationship between tension
and compression as children construct the bridge using girders and
gussets; the 3'-long suspension bridge requires building the towers
and suspending the bridge with string, replicating t he design of The
Golden Gate Bridge. The 48-page book covers the history of bridge
building. Includes instruction booklet, river landscape base,
sandpaper, paint, glue, and paintbrush. Ages 8 and up. The
manufacturer has confirmed that this item meets U.S. Federal toy
safety standards for lead. Landscape base with erected bridges: 51/2"
H x 111/2" W x 10 1/2" L. (2 lbs.) Suspension bridge: 10" H x 2 3/4" W
x 36" L. (2 oz.)
Also known as "Our Amazing Bridges" architecture kit by Poof Slinky.
