How to Make It 1926
Automata maker extraordinaire Dug North says:
I went into an antique shop that was going out of business and picked up a large-format magazine/book entitled How to Make It. The book is made up of selected excerpts from Science and Invention Magazine published in 1926. You would not believe the stuff in there -- some of it really cool and really dangerous.
- An motor-powered ice sled that uses a sawmill-sized circular blade as the front wheel.
- A brazing torch powered by gasoline
- An airplane using a motorcycle engine
- A xylophone/thumb-piano made of razor blades
- A motor driven mono-wheel that you ride inside of
- And so on...
It made me think of you and your magazine.
