Atomic Energy Lab 1951-1952
This prmary source was a photograph. Alfred Carlton Gilbert, an American athlete, magician, toymaker,
businessman, and developer of the well-known Erector Set, created the Gilbert U-238 Atomic Energy Lab
as a toy lab set. The A. C. Gilbert Company launched the Atomic Energy Lab in 1950. The goal of the kit
was for youngsters to be able to make and observe nuclear and chemical processes using radioactive
material. At the time, the Atomic Energy Lab was just one of a dozen chemical reactions lab kits on the
market. Gilbert's toys frequently came with instructions on how the youngster might use the kit to perform
his own "magic performance." He pushed the concept to parents that the utilization of chemical processes
in the sets guided their children toward a possible future in science and engineering. The Atomic Energy
Lab, unlike other A.C. Gilbert Company chemical sets, was never popular and was quickly discontinued.
Only 5000 kits were sold, and the product was only available between 1950 and 1951. Gilbert considered
the Atomic Energy Lab was financially unsuccessful because it catered to individuals with some
educational background rather than the younger population that the A.C. Gilbert Company intended for.
