Instructions for this unique model. Unlike other Meccanographs, manually-programmed to produce single drawings, the Super Meccanograph is self-programming; it generates a continuous and endless sequence of unique drawings, the design of which cannot be predicted in advance.
Illustrated in VirtualMec, the ModelPlan includes the full background history of this model and a CD containing the full set of 3D VirtualMec drawings, high-resolution photographs of the original and the replica, explanation of the precise differences between them, examples of drawn figures, and a Dutch-language translation.

Instructions (combined with MP149) to build a model to illustrate how a robot can be controlled by a computer within a maufaturing process. The robot is combined with a conveyor to sort coloured boxes. The model requires some obsolete Meccao parts and non-Meccano parts.

This model pland features a model which is designed to mimic the actions of an industrial robot using a simple and basic construction. The model requires five standard Meccano motors (four low voltage as in the basic Meccano sets and one "PowerDrive" last made in the 1980's) The builder is free to substitute the motors if required.

This model plans contains the instructions for a small version of an industrial machine designed for computer control. The robot has three axes of movement and a hand (or gripper)

This model plan is a development of the models in MP138. Both produce patterns of up to fourteen peaks or sides. The mark III is the simpler whilst the mark IV incorporates a more elaborate gearbox. Both can be constructed from a Set10 with a few additional parts

Instructions for a traditional Meccano model which draws patterns. These models have been designed to use the "Schmitt coupling" which transmits a steady rotational motion from an input shaft to an output shaft which position may change continually.
One Meccanograph is a simpler model, the second a more complex with three gearboxes to control cam and turntable speeds.
