Nerdy things this month in our continuing series, “Capturing the Vibe” where we try to imagine what the world felt like to a newspaper reader from the past by immersing ourselves in their “vibe of the day”. This month we explore an issue of Scientific American from the 1920’s which documents the latest and greatest inventions of the day.
In this regard…
Some Scientific American issues have front color covers which always grab my attention.
These ladies are ladies are repurposing airplane struts as toys for tots …
Artists visit the zoo to sketch real live animals …
The Panama Canal has new terminals added…
Perhaps the beginning of Geothermal? …
And finally, on the back page a beautiful color ad for Federal Motor Trucks.
