Today on
Modern Mechanix we learn about a 1938
time capsule designed so that people of the distant future can learn about us and restore their shattered world to our glorious standards. This 1929 Modern Mechanics article chronicles inaugural flight of the
Transcontinental Air Transport Corporation, piloted by Charles Lindberg. The T.A.T could take someone from Los Angeles to New York in under 48 hours via a combination of airplanes and sleeper trains. We also looked at an
elevator that works without cables, an 80mph
baby cycle car, a weird 1970
ad for rice, and a rather rotund long distance swimmer who demonstrates how to
eat lunch in the water.
