MAD ABOUT MACHINES 1910 Inventions The silly, the smart, and the simply before its time
In and around 1910, Technical World Magazine began publishing a Popular Science and Mechanics supplement, with short snippets showcasing the latest in technical wizardry out there. That, in itself is interesting. Remember, 1910 era articles, including the articles in Technical World, were long and wordy. This particular format is very familiar today, what with our short attention spans we can hardly tolerate anything else. Here are some of the items from the aforementioned feature, all from 1910 Technical World Magazines. I chose them to enhance Tighsolas themes.
