Alfred Carlton Gilbert thought up the idea for the Erector Set during one of his frequent commutes from New Haven, Connecticut to New York City. From his train window, Gilbert viewed workers building a power-line tower. He based his children's construction set on minature versions of the same steal beams the workers were using.
