In addition to the patterns on the color envelope, which have instructions, the black and white instruction sheet has 70 “mystery patterns” without final illustrations, for people to try and discover.

If you want to print off one of the images below, clicking it will open the full-resolution image in a new tab, and you can print from there.

The cover envelope mentions two non-super Spirograph Refill Kits, No. 402 and 404. I assume the one we have at the above link is No. 402, so if anyone has a different one and wants to share, feel free to contact me.

It’s 39 pages of vintage goodness, including many patterns you can make with the non-super Spirograph. Plus it has ideas for taking them further into artistic creations of your own.

Many of the designs are familiar, but there are some that I don’t remember from any English-language manuals. Perhaps they were part of some of the earlier Denys Fisher versions out of England.

Even if you don’t read any of the languages, illustrations and the color-coded text can guide you in creating the designs yourself.

A particular charm is that the patterns are obviously hand-drawn, complete with misalignments and splotches.

Apparently Spirograph was distributed in Europe by Meccano France S.A., as shown by the trademark at the bottom of the document.
