A little bit of history fell out

[simmo]

Just going through some science magazines given to me recently. This little piece fell out of them from somewhere. Funny to think of peoples imagination at the time comparing to what we know now.

Imagine it comes from around the 40's but not sure. Maybe a history buff can fill in some dates as there is none on the article. The back of the article talks about arms embargos between US and South America and President Roosevelt.

Maybe some of you will recognise the magazines as well. Printing says 1962.

your photos have a blurred watermark over the top of them from your hosting site

Photobucket lets you store photos for free in your own account but if you want to display them at a third pary site i.e. here, then it costs you big-time otherwise the blurred image you see.

Kind of pointless then

What a nightmare, can't load photos, photo bucket sucks now, tried writing the article twice to one have the battery give out and two timed out on the post. Holy crap what a joke. I give up.

Thanks anyway Nik. Sorry you guys can't see it.

If you have the magazine articles, why not just scan them and save to your desktop or a folder on your computer. You can then upload them here as an attachment. That is assuming you have a scanner of course or if you know someone with one get them to scan and send the images to you to save where you want.
See attached I have done as an example when we had massive blackouts here reported in the newspaper

Hi Simmo
I had a read the other day about "it can see a candle from 1000 miles away etc" but now its got a watermark across the images.
I used to scan stuff but now for most things i use my phone camera which works fine.
Then transfer to laptop and convert to jpeg at around the 1000 kb size.
It gets resized on IIS to 200kb and you don't loose too much detail.
Cheers
Andy

I have several popular mechanics magazines from the 30s
and they are full of some pretty out there stuff and some things very close to how technolghy will and did change the the future.
towards the late 30s with the second world war approaching the military theme increased a lot even though america hadn't become involved.I do recall a large refractor in europe in one story and the endless adds on the health and social benefits of smoking ciggerettes .
