Yesterday on
Modern Mechanix we look at this Japanese
radio controlled tank from 1930, an article about the perils of making movies
under the sea, a
carousel gas station and a
fire extinguisher that works by catapulting glass "bombs" full of flame retardant into the flames. Voice recognition 70 years ago? Supposedly this giant
TV/Radio combo from 1934 allows the user to change the station just by speaking to it. Â Lastly we have the debut of the new "
De Luxe Sleeper Planes" which actually do look quite comfortable. I suppose they'd have to be considering a flight from New York to LA would take a day or two.
