Ten In One Scopes
()
About this ebook
The toy from my childhood days that I will always remember is my Ten In One Scope. These instruments, these scientific instruments (printed upon each box, it stated, ‘scientific instrument, not a toy’) were everything us boys wanted, and then some. The girls in our school had absolutely no interest in them, and that suited us boys just fine. It left us free, at playtime, to indulge our favourite pastime – playing with our Ten in One Scopes. According to the advertising literature, our ‘scientific instruments’ could be manipulated to perform ten entirely different functions:
1. Reading Lens
2. Compound Microscope
3. Adjustable Telescope
4. Focusing Binoculars
5. Directional Compass
6. Solar Time Clock
7. Flat Mirror
8. Magnifying Mirror
9. Camp Fire Lighter
10. Code Transmitter
How we came into possession of these fantastic instruments is a story unto itself. You see, they were on offer from the cereal company that produced Weetabix. All that we had to do, to get our hands on them, was collect the special tokens from the Weetabix boxes (I cannot remember how many were needed, but it must have been quite a few because the girls in our school, feeling sorry for us boys, gave us theirs). When we each had enough tokens, we posted them and waited for our 'instruments' to arrive in the post. An eBook especially for YOU.
