Recently on
Modern Mechanix we looked at this 1939
radio-fax machine that picked up a broadcast from a local radio station and printed out the morning newspaper right in your living room. Â During WWII the U.S. navy deployed really crazy looking "dazzle"
camouflage on some of it's ships. If you have a gajillion giant rubber bands and a whole lot of time on your hands, Â I'd love to see someone actually build one of these
midget cars powered by a sixteen-
cylinder band motor. Supposedly it can travel up to three miles on one winding. Lose an expensive piece of radium? Better make sure it didn't get eaten by a
pig. Â In 1933 this dairy was producing
milk cartons that are virtually identical to the ones you buy in the supermarket today. We also have
musical instruments from around the world, a
bicycle you ride by swaying from side to side, a
helmet mounted radio, Â a
jiggling frame massager and  a not-so-compact
organ for your home.
