It turns out Google Books has all the old Life magazines available for viewing (as well as Popular Science, Popular Mechanics, etc.). The article from the magazine shown at the beginning of this post is at http://books.google.com/books?id=L1YEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA24-IA3 Now, if we could just get the old issues Yachting and The Rudder available. That’d make some interesting reading.
