Modern Mechanix Round-Up

Today on Modern Mechanix we have this very odd rotating toothbrush that takes two hands to use. I think I’ll stick to my regular one.  Ever wonder how transatlantic telephone cables are repaired when they break? In 1930 a Popular Science reporter got to ride along and found out that it’s really quite a pain in the ass. This 1934 Modern Mechanix roundup of gadgets for the home includes a combination toaster/skillet/heater along with a really dangerous idea for using it in the bathroom. Here is a very early attempt at an automobile heater for your feet. I’d much prefer to just live in this nifty RV that serves as home and office. Lastly we looked at cool restaurants that are in the shape of dogs, flowerpots, zeppelins and more.
