Complex. Intricate operational ability. Clever engineering. The Baker Electric #2800 Guided Missile Carrier was a very fine toy. Many were made, but most soon lost their rockets and/or pallets.
The spring-loaded rocket body was designed to propel the "satellite" (actually a smaller rocket) into the air. The large rocket never left the ground. "Satellite" reproductions are available today.
This is a more accurate representation of the real-life prototype Baker Industrial Traveloader. Very few of these all-yellow versions exist today, and they are never shown in Nylint catalogs. They may have been made only as Salesman Samples.
The same automotive steering system was used on the early Michigan Shovels.
