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.
