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 March, 1956, and designated as being the “17th issue”. |
This manual overlaps the August, 1954 sets #0 to #4 manual and the September, 1954 set 3X manual. |
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. |
Page 33 [below] contains an ongoing anomaly. The list of new parts included in sets #3X and #4 continues to omit the Dome and both the Pinnacle Roof and Platform, despite the fact that these were certainly included following the launch of set #4 early in 1952. |
As far as I can tell, this issue of the manual is identical to its predecessor. |
Size - 250mm x 185mm = 9.8 x 7.3 inches. It is labelled as the 17th issue. Number of this version that were printed - 100,000. |
