MARBLEWORKS

A wooden construction set on a birch pegboard. Drag chutes, rails, bumpers, tuned chimes, paddle wheels and seesaws out of the drawer, screw them down, then pull the lever and watch a glass marble find its way to the bell. Fifteen builds and an unlimited workshop; every build in the book has a printed machine that provably works, so nothing here is a puzzle without an answer. Real gravity, real bounce, real rolling contact — the plank you see is the plank the marble hits.
