Modern Mechanix Round-UP

Posted by Charles Shopsin, March 20, 2008 10:01 AM | permalink

Today on Modern Mechanix we round up a bunch of weird smoking accessories, including this double barrel cigarette holder. We also looked at a table fan with harmless cloth blades, a giant soap box derby, an automatic lathe that is programmed via phonograph record, and some very odd looking hiking apparel from 1922. Also check out this 1956 Mechanix Illustrated picture gallery of new and notable inventions.

PLEEEASE don't post pictures of cigarettes where I will see them first thing in the morning. I'm trying so hard to be good.
