Author: MODERN MECHANIX & INVENTIONS MAGAZINE
Title: Modern Mechanix & Inventions Magazine December 1935
Description: Louisville, KY: Mechanix Illustrated, 1940. Magazine. B&W Illustrations; This is a slightly larger than trade sized magazine. The magazine is in Very Good condition and was issued without a dust jacket. The covers have some light edge wear and rubbing. There is one tiny chip to the bottom spine end of the book covers. The text pages are clean and bright. Contents include: Your Gasless Touring in a Diesel Automobile, by C. L. Cummins, Filming Table Top Earthquakes by Earl Theisen, Broadcasting Football with Ted Husing by Donald G. Cooley, and more. "From its debut in 1928, it went through a number of permutations over the years, being called at various points in its life, Modern Mechanics and Inventions, Modern Mechanix and Inventions, Modern Mechanix, Mechanix Illustrated, Home Mechanix, and, in its final incarnation, Today's Homeowner. Although it featured many how-to articles, the most eagerly awaited and read features were Tom McCahill's monthly automobile tests which ran from the late 1940s to the early 1970s. McCahill's feisty opinions were delivered in a prose laced with similes that are still quoted today among car enthusiasts: "As anyone brighter than a rusty spike must know..." ; flooring the accelerator pedal on a certain car is "...like stepping on a wet sponge"; the clock/tachometer combination on another car is "...about as useful as feathers on a moose." McCahill died in 1974, and three years later CBS bought Fawcett Publications, the company which published MI, and continued publishing the magazine, renaming it Home Mechanix starting in January 1985. In August, 1996, it was again renamed as Today's Homeowner, and ceased publication with the March/April issue in 2001, being merged into sister publication This Old House. " (From Wikipedia).
