A small "Emebo" Meccano battery-powered electric motor with bright red plastic casing, produced by Meccano Ltd., from some time around circa ~1962-ish onwards.
We're assuming that the unusual African-sounding name is actually a contraction of "Em" "E" "bo", or M, E, B-O, for "Meccano Electric Battery-Operated" ... but his doesn't seem to be stated obviously anywhere in the literature. The strange name probably goes some way to explaining why the motor wasn't more popular.
