For those in the US, Meccano's are what are now sold here as "Erector" sets. The older Erector sets were actually a slightly different design from the 1920s by Gilbert, but those are long gone and sorely missed by many.

I wonder how much research the marketing team did on setting up their brand with that name, considering their consumers are parents and young children.

  Erector sets were around long before the prurient connotations were made.
