Scalextric Race Ready Sets |
In 1952 a small company called Minimodels Limited introduced a range of metal-bodied model racing cars. These cars contained a unique type of clockwork motor. The inventor of these cars was Mr B Francis and the trademark known as SCALEX. Whilst witnessing a demonstration of electrically operated cars running on a track Francis instantly recognised the potential, and modified his cars to take an electric motor. He also devised a track system with parallel grooves in which metal rails carried an electric current, thus guiding the cars by means of a "gimbal" wheel suspended beneath them.
