I apologize for bringing up an old thread, but I was away for several months and lost track.

A while ago, there was discussion on this list about a "plastic computer" that you could build. Apparently, the instructions were from the JACM back in the late 1950's. I have a ten-year-old daughter who we are home-schooling. I want to teach her about computers and I think that building one of these plastic computers would be an excellent opportunity to teach her about logic and build her enthusiasm.

Has anyone found the instructions for this on the internet?

Thanks,
