Lectron Construction Set Lectron Construction Set, Circuit

The 1967 Lectron construction set, developed by the company Braun, made the basics of electronics easily graspable thanks to its experimental instructions and well-thought-out design. Using the instruction booklet, users could learn how to combine building blocks marked with electronic symbols to make a functioning circuit. Thanks to magnets on their underside, the blocks adhered to a metal base plate, while metal contacts transmitted the current. The transparent plastic housing offered a view of the electrical components on the inside of the blocks.
