The cornerstone of the set is a wooden spool roughly two Inches (5 Cm ) in diameter with holes drilled every 45 Degree s around the perimeter and one though the center. The perimeter holes do not go all the way through. With the differing-length sticks, the set was intended to be based on the Pythagorean progressive Right Triangle . The sets were introduced to the public through displays in and around Chicago which included model Ferris Wheel s. Tinkertoys have been used to create surprisingly complex machines, including Danny Hillis ' Tic-tac-toe -playing Computer (now on display at the Computer Museum in Boston ) and a Robot at Cornell University in 1998 . Hasbro owns the Tinkertoy brand and currently produces both Tinkertoy Plastic and Tinkertoy Classic (wood) sets and parts. REFERENCES
