About this ebook
A wonderfully colourful memory from my childhood days are Ten in One Scopes. 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 playtimes, 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
