Google is digitizing the back issues of many magazines and has made them available for free download.
For our Tea drinking mates, these are the magazines most of Americans read as kids. In the day, they were chuck full of neat projects and fix-it tips for the home handyman. Everything from steam engines to airplanes at one time or another has been presented in the pages. Long forgotten tricks and tips for the home machinist as well.
I have found memories of spending my rainy Saturday afternoons in the back room of the local library reading the back issue collection they had.
