People who like classical tin toys can always learn more from them than ordinary people. Some aerospace-themed tin toys produced in the 1960s and 1970s vividly recorded the turbulent space journey.
Early rocket toy styling was not very accurate, and many manufacturers used reference materials for various early news photos. The carrier rockets and ballistic missiles first developed by major countries such as the United States and the Soviet Union were carried out according to the V-2 missile developed by Nazi Germany. The missile is in the shape of a cylinder with a pointed cone, using liquid fuel, and three stable bombs at the tail. wing. With the popularity of the news media and television technology, the shape of the rocket toy became more precise, and became the most popular toy theme in the 1960s and 1970s.
In the 1960s, Soviet space science and technology led the West. During this period, Hungary produced a "Lunar Rocket" tin toy, which was powered by a friction flywheel and was beautifully sprayed. The shape of the toy is the Soviet carrier rocket at that time. Although the image is quite different from the real Soviet N-1 rocket, this 40-cm rocket toy has a special "singularity": when the rocket moves forward, the front When the antenna-like probe hits the obstacle, it triggers the spring control mechanism, and the rocket immediately turns into an upright state, while the side of the rocket expands to reveal the astronaut inside. This was a very novel design at the time, but it was not realistic: the moon rocket was only responsible for transporting the spacecraft into the earth-moon transfer orbit. After that, the spacecraft was separated from the rocket, and finally it was only the moon landing cabin in the spacecraft. Due to the excellent production and the lack of good deposits, the original of a perfect product is worth nearly $1,000 today.
In order to catch up with the Soviet Union, the United States has successively formulated and implemented the "Mercury" plan and the "Gemini" plan. On May 5, 1961, Alan Shepard took the "Mercury" spacecraft and became the first American to enter space. As early as a month ago, the Soviet Union Gagarin was launched. On February 20, 1962, John Glenn took the "Mercury" to become the first American to fly around the orbit. The "Gemini" plan is more complicated. The United States has completed the long-distance flight of two-person spacecraft, manned rendezvous and docking, and extra-vehicular activities. Reflected in tin toys, among the toys made by Japanese toy companies in the 1960s, many tin toys are clearly based on the single-space ship in the "Mercury" program and the double-spacecraft in the "Gemini" plan. In addition to the spacecraft movement, the red and green small lights flashing, the astronauts on the spacecraft connected by the wire ropes began to rotate around the axis, apparently in the simulation, after an electric iron toy spacecraft opened by Japan’s Masuda Toys Co., Ltd. Walking outside the cabin. Although the toy says Apollo, it is not the Apollo spacecraft from the spacecraft's double layout. The prototype is apparently from the US "Gemini" two-person spacecraft.
In the late 1960s, the US "Apollo" 11 was successfully landed on the moon. During this period, Japan introduced a number of electric iron toy rockets, most of which refer to the "Saturn" No. 5 launch vehicle that implements the "Apollo" program. Some rocket toys have the words "Apollo 15". When the switch is turned on, the battery drives the wheels to rotate. A small bulb flashes, the rocket can move forward, and the obstacle can automatically turn, while the side of the rocket The door can be opened, and there is a cosmonaut with a hand-held camera. It is very lively.
In the 1970s, the electric iron moon landing ship toy made by Nomura Toys Co., Ltd. directly copied the design of the Apollo moon landing spacecraft. During this period, the Japanese toy shells produced by DSK in Japan were widely recognized. Its shape is accurate and realistic, battery-powered, with the NASA (NASA) logo printed on it, the door can be opened, and there are astronauts inside, 24 cm wide. If you pay attention, you will find the word "Eagle" printed on the cabin. This is exactly the call code of the command center to the lunar module during the Apollo 11 moon landing.
In 1971, the German Technofix toy company also launched an "Apollo" moon-throwing tin toy. When designing this toy, the manufacturer made plastic with a platform with earth and moon. On the platform, there is a "Apollo" moon landing spacecraft powered by a spring, which can surround the 8-shaped orbit between the earth and the moon. Operation - The pendulum is required to change direction at the intersection, so that the children can visually understand the orbital design principle of the Earth and Moon travel during the operation of the spacecraft.
