lrg_steampunk_robot.jpg

Over at Modern Mechanix today we have this cool looking remote controlled train from 1936, a tiny portable typewriter (the Mac Book Air of it’s day), a 1933 roundup of mechanical gadgets for busy housewives and learned that too much nudism is not all it’s cracked up to be. Also from 1933 is this great Modern Mechanix article about the makeup artists who worked on old monster movies, including Frankenstein.  Did you know that man has a strange inner power? Let Yogi Alpha and his magic finger help dig it out.

Today we also rolled out a new site design with a few new features that should make it a lot easier to navigate our archives.  Check it out and let us know what you think.
