Today on
Modern Mechanix we looked at these oh-so-cool
sport binoculars, an advertisement for Harley Davidson's 1951
Hydra-Glide motorcycle, a centuries old
automaton of an old woman that writes letters and learned that
Canada is full of courteous people and fresh fish. This 1932 Modern Mechanix article documents the birth of the nascent US
electronics industry, complete with a bunch of nifty photos. Also be sure to check out this 1968 Mechanix Illustrated article introducing the
Boeing 747 and this 1934 piece about the construction of the
Pan-American highway, stretching from Alaska to Argentina.

The little ad for the television school (from 1932!) on the last page of the electronics industry article intrigued me. I did a little googling (sp?) and found an article on First National Television, and a memoir written by a graduate. Apparently, for a time, it was a good school and a very early broadcaster of television in the US.
