Issue 9 is available.

Like issue 4, it builds an horizontal arm

In the magazine:

* History of Meccano : The “alphabetical” period (1934-1937)

* History of Meccano models : gantry crane models from “Mechanics made easy”

* Description of Meccano parts : Bush wheels

* Other models

And yes, the historical chapters are quite interesting, with many good pictures. The conceptors have done a very good job here.

The “other models” are more disappointing because they cannot be built with the contents of the partwork.

They involve many special parts which are quite expensive.
