Trix model construction sets were originally produced in 1931 by a Nuremberg company, Andreas Förtner (Anfoe). The German patent for the basic Trix pieces had been granted the previous year, in 1930. The origin of the name Trix is uncertain; it has been suggested (by (Adrie Wind )) that it could have referred to the triple-hole configuration of the basic pieces. A friendship between Stephan Bing, owner of Anfoe, and the English toy manufacturer W J Bassett-Lowke led to the founding of the London company Trix Ltd in 1932. In the United Kingdom, Trix sets challenged the British-invented Meccano model construction sets. (See Trix (company) for details of the model electric trains that the German company also began producing in 1935). == External links == * (Trix construction sets ) website created by Adrie Wind; contains scans of most Trix manuals and brochures, mainly in Dutch, with some in German and some in English * ('Eine kurze Geschichte des Trix-Metallbaukastens' ) in German, by Werner Sticht (tr.
