Just discovered all the old Popular Mechanics magazines are available in Google Books Online.. Going to be spending hours, if not days looking at this stuff...

From 1905 through 2005.. The complete magazines are there.. Takes a little pointing and clicking to figure out how to get the complete magazine content to come up..but it's there.
