BAYKO Sets #0 to #3 Instruction Manual -
June, 1951 - 6th Issue
This Instruction Manual was produced by Plimpton for their basic range of BAYKO sets - sets #0 to #3, and was the bread and butter of BAYKO's heydays, with a total of 20 issues being printed. |
It is print coded June, 1951 and, as such, is one of the standard versions, which can be easily distinguished by the lack of a red border to the picture on the front cover. This manual follows the introduction of sets #3X and actually overlaps the first two set #3X manuals. The print code also tells us that 50,000 copies of this edition were printed. |
The manual was printed by J.H. Leeman Ltd., Leighton Printing Works, Neston, Wirral. It has a full colour cover, the rest of the 40 pages are printed in red, green and black on white, gloss paper. |
It is print coded June, 1951 and, as such, is the first of the second style of this version of manual, which can be easily identified by the removal of the red border round the picture on the front cover [below]. The significance being that this manual was printed taking into account the introduction of sets #3X and #4 in 1951 and 1952 respectively. The print code also tells us that 50,000 copies of this were printed. As well as being included in sets #0 to #3, this manual was sold for 2/- [10p], an increase of 33% on the previous price. |
The standard parts list, on page 1, and the new parts list on page 33 [below] no longer include prices, though the earlier versions did. |
The incorrect labelling, on page 34, [below] of the Square Turret and Long Turret has been corrected in this issue. |
The previous version of this manual, while having the Seaside Pier on the back cover confusingly bore the legend - “An illustration of House and Extension built from No. 4 outfit” - which has been corrected here. Thanks to eagle eyed David Finan for spotting this one. |
Size - 250mm x 185mm = 9.8 x 7.3 inches. This is the 6th Issue. Number of this issue that were printed - 50,000. |
