Love that! I am 69 now and have magazines from 1956-67. They will laugh at us again 50 years from now.. Naive at the moment and we are shaped by the time we exist in... The nearest planet they have found water on is 123 light years away. Going for dinner with my wife now and fly my HobbyKing planes tomorrow....
We did static electricity experiments in school with a cat skin that supposedly once was the cat of the physics teacher. We also had a electro-static generator with a belt thing and a big metal bell.
This was astonishingly interesting to watch. A Let's Read by Bruce including retro tech, science and sexualized clickbait? A lot of RUclips itches scratched right there by this video - well played, Mister. ;)
That Folbot ad when you first opened the magazine sure brought back memories. I built the kit version (non folding) in my basement in the early 80s with big plans to use it for running whitewater. I also bought the sail kit and taught myself to sail it. Fell in love with sailing and never did do any whitewater in it. The boat was made of wood and Naugahyde (remember that stuff?). If they were still in business, I'd be building another in the garage as soon as I could get the kit shipped. I had a whole lot of fun with that boat.
I still use Ersin rosin core solder, the packaging hasn’t changed either! Small advert for it made me smile. Our town jeweller repaired watches, he retired last year, there’s another guy locally who just does watches. It’s not a dead art thankfully.
The "Ask Joe Gutts" question on page 20 (3:30) is great. Someone's asking about a mechanical hand that supposedly interfaces with the nerves of the hanicapped person. He's saying it's such a tease that this hand isn't available yet.
Excellent video....... A flash-back to the past. My Grand Parents had the Sears catalog way back when in the U.S.A. Sears is all but gone now, just a matter of time.
HaHaHaHa Minimum Wage Was $.85 Cents An Hour Back Then!!! I Became A Certified Locksmith Thru A Mail Order Company Ad Out Of One Of Those Magazines For $60 & It's Still Good Today 45+ Years Later!!! And I Bought One Of The First Scorpion 2 Seater Helicopter Kits In The 70's For $2000, Built On It For 2+Years To Completion Butt I Was Afraid To Fly It, Soo I Listed It In The Classified Ads Of News Paper (No Craigslist Then!) And Sold It To The 1st Person For $7500 CASH, Then I Built 2-Baja Racing VW's & Raced In The Baja 500 (Came In 10th Place In My Class)!!! LOL Thanks Mate PS I Had One Of Then Tote-Goats Just Like The One Under Daniel Bones Picture In 1968/8th Grade I Bought For $10 w/3hp Briggs! WooHoo Those Were The Days!!!
I miss that kind of thing. Actual plans for building a vehicle, or furniture, or whatever. These days, most guys under the age of 30 can barely change a tire, much less a set of brakes. Or the plug on a lawnmower. Or change out a wall socket. Now all anyone is worried about is getting the latest and greatest phone that they're going to toss in a couple of years when the next one comes out. Of course, it doesn't help that everything is made to last the duration of the warranty period and not one second more. Progress has been a bit of a mixed bag, to be honest. Lol...
As a 20 year who programs, 3d prints and solders in his free time this is very upsetting I do get your point though, I've got a dad who knows how to change a socket so I never had to or felt the need to learn it myself
To be fair, today's vehicles will shut down and refuse to start if you fiddle with them. They'll even narc on you and send a tamper report to the manufacturer via wifi.
Love these old magazines lookthrough, with your special good comments. Keep it up. I was 25 at the time for the magazine. I think more of us baby boomers like old stuff. :)
What's new? A Vanden Plas princess R motorcar, that's what! My grandad had one, still remember the smell of the leather and also can recall using the little wooden tables that came out of the back of the front seats.
Hi Bruce Great video and one of the funniest, I remember these books, and I became a TV repairman and only made $6.50 ahour, who know? WOW all the guns and girls, I love the ads, you won't see that anymore. Accordions,and building cars. I love the monkey, but the electronic brain looks like frying pans, and I had one of those mini bikes, and yes I remember Daniel Boone, S&M 👍, Can't wait for the next episode.
Hi Bruce, The Norelco tape recorder ( the first photo in page 50) is identical to the Philips of that days it is powered with the same 5 C batteries! maybe a production under license ( if i remember exactly the tape cassette is a Philips patent) Page 61 Upjohn is (or was) a farmaceutical major producer page 80 little bugs for.. in italy there was a little bug called "motorella by Benelli" made in the same filosofy of portability....but it was only 10-15 years late, sigh! page 122 the chronotermostat! just a few years ( less than 30) ago appeared here page 124 my grandfather bought a couple of them: they turned out to be built with a piece of bird's feather pasted in a cardboard sandwich with a hole, the images were split and were composed slightly staggered, giving the impression of seeing the bones of the hand ... . thanks for these nice jumps in the past and good Sunday
In the mid-60s my first job as a grocery stocker I got $0.97 an hour. I saved up enough to buy that 22 pistol that you showed for $14.95! As far as the electrocuted monkey brains, I remember seeing something about people eating live monkey brains! Would that be considered the first rhesus pieces?
That rag you showed was typical, and shunned by the engr/research community: 80/20% adv/editorial content. Conversely, a mag came out in 1965, named International Science and Technology, aimed at e/r, and I received a copy: The writing was 1st class, like the Sydney H-T or the NY Times, and no ads (which was their downfall, tho I suggested merely upping their projected subscription price). Anyhow, one article touted three common stocks: Flying Tigers (an air cargo co., and two others); I bought all three and they did wonders. This mag, alone, will be missed. And, oh yes, you showed a full-page a/c repair school ad: This proved to be right on: The hot American southwest and southeast have been repopulated due to a/c; every house has one, and, thankfully, nary a southern accent is heard. Cheers for your oncoming spring.
It took quite some time for turbopump systems other than HTP gas generators to take off, and they're still used to this day when cost and simplicity outweigh performance.
Ion thrusters do exist on spacecraft! There are probes and satellites.out there using them, the ion thruster produces very little thrust and is not even close to suitable for launching but once a probe is launched the small amount of thrust released at a very high velocity accelerates the craft to a very high speed over a long long distance. Satellites also use them to maintain orbital velocity.
I enjoyed looking through those as a kid. Back then, it was New, cutting edge. I eventually figured out 90% of it was BS. The reviews on the Cassette recorder was probably the most important thing there for me. At that price, no wonder we didn't own one until the 1970's. I remember when the 8 track player was it! Everyone HAD to own one. We had two. Even one mounted in our van. I used to listen to polka music all the time. I was a weird kid. Still am.
Don't know what the exchange rate was back then but I got £6 for a whole weeks work(40 hour) when I started work in 1964. I do know that the top technician grade, Technical Officer, in the GPO(BT now) got a max of roughly £1,000/year. The pay now is in the region of £45,000/year. So, an inflation rate over the period of 4500%. I've been taking the magazine RCM&E since it started and the cover price tracks this quite well.
I still remember the ads in those magazines for AMAZING SOLAR CLOTHES DRYERS, which were hanks of rope, or the device that lets you SEE THROUGH WALLS with the hint that you could spy on your neighbors. I think they would have objected when you drilled a hole through the wall to install the ordinary peephole designed for doors, though. No, I didn't buy either one. I did buy a package of itch powder from S. S. Adams company, though. It turned out to be a small package of very fine olive wood sawdust.
I've been 2 years old back then but I couldn't read english. Well I couldn't read at all. On page 18 it says they already had starcraft! I like the reviews of these old magazines :)
Awwww...you missed the best part!!..Those "classifieds" as you called them, at the back of the rag, were the first and only option for "private direct marketers" the online/ebay of the 60's!!! ... My dad and I had several "ads" for items and would package and ship regularly for what was A LOT of side income back then!!..You should read some of the ads..ChinchillaFarms!...buy a mated pair (sent through the mail!) and make "Big Bucks" ..One regular and famous ad opened with "I was buried in a rut! six feet under! (Ditch digger job) until Intook a home "ICS" course in (then there were 10+ careers, you could order training packages for) and now I make Big Bucks!!"...lol...We also Drag raced a Turbonique 36 HP VW that was featured in some of the ads also ran and pictured ( in some ads) the same 36 HP "bug" with a "Belt driven Judson Supercharger" with a Alcohol Injection (used a mayonnaise jar for container) that actually was quite fast..(No Dyno's back then so I have no idea how much HP we were making)..This led to me bieng one of the first "Turbo Engine Builders" in the Country..lol..Down in Atl. "Turbo Tom" was my main competitor..I would Turbo charge anything!!..made a lot of Turbo Datsuns..lol...
I once had an item published in the "What We Need Is" column in the late 60s. I got $5 for it. As a kid back then it was the easiest money I ever earned.
These entrepreneur types never learn. A chap opened up a grand furniture showroom near me, with beds, sofas, and easy chairs on display. To appear super-duper he called his shop Scobie & McKintoch. He even put a large ornate S&M sign over the door.
My first job (spud peeler/chip cutter) in 1967 paid 1 shilling and 9 pence an hour which, even before Harold Wilson's devaluation of the pound that year, was the equivalent of 24.5 cents US. According to the Bank of England inflation calculator it is the equivalent of £1-56/hour now. AFAIK there was no minimum wage in the UK at that time and employers at that end of the market would tell you to stick your NI card where the sun doesn't shine in the full knowledge that no one would be checking up anyway. Still, it was possible to sustain an interest in aeromodelling - an hour's work would buy a sheet of 1/4 "x 3" x 36" balsa and and a week's work would by a DC Bantam engine and enough fuel to find that the damn thing was totally gutless. Guess how I know.
he was the ancestor of modern electronic calculators, try to think that with that they went to the moon! (and also with more powerful but ridiculous computers, compared to what a cell phone can do now, or even a few years ago)
Here in the US, at a magazine rack in a grocery store, I counted more than a dozen gun and/or ammo magazines!!! More than all other genres except for women's fashion. Yes, we have quite the gun fetish here in the states. Don't ask me why but it's alive and well (ill). … and we don't even live in a state known for gun popularity!
Everything today is unacceptable Bruce I cut my teeth on those type of magazines they gave me my lifelong curiosity to learn and improve myself . Anyone want to buy a Charles Atlas body building course or Learn to play in a day by Bert Weedon, comes with a hardly used guitar ?
*Ask Joe Gutts!* "To settle an argument I've been having, can you tell me if cognac and brandy are the same thing?" "Will you please stop running photos like those of the girl posed with the 1965 Ambassador in your November issue. I though they were disgusting" So what is the difference between 1965 and 2019 again?
Page 32 (7:29) "A missie that has a gun concealed in its nose cone to shoot down enemy missiles and satellites"... I heard you like bullets so I added a gun to your bullet so you bullets can shoot bullets
At the 9 minute mark, on the 'What we need is...' page, (Win $5!) someone proposes: 'Instead of cigarettes, what about a capsule of concentrated smoke that fitted into a holder? There'd be no tobacco or paper burning...' Hmm. I wonder what became of that bloody marvellous idea. Yes, I know what became of that idea; I was being - Oh, never mind. Hey, is Uncle Ron still smoking cancer sticks on the sly, or has he switched to popcorn and juicy-fruit mentholated toffee vanilla lung-rot vapour yet?
everyone trained themselves and or learned from someone who did......to bad it does not happen still today, instead the Government found they can charge you thousands for tuition and give you loans to put you in debt faster as a youngster and that way they control you all the way through your adulthood because it takes that long to pay off school loans....now they claim unless you have a piece of paper from a college ( a degree ) you do not know anything.....and I made $3 dollars an hour and had more money then I knew how to spend it...decades later I made far more and stayed broke........yeah the Government made sure of that as well.....O those were the days where innocence and learning actual skills that mattered placed you in great positions.....today it s a piece of paper and the recipients are clueless and in fact down right ignorant about most everything....LOL
"Science & Mechanics" "Cures for sexual inadequacy" I take offence to that. This is profiling. I identify as a sexually adequate scientist. This magazine would not be acceptable today.
I find it disturbing Bruce how you have kept the edition that featured "cures for sexual Inadequacy" all these years lol....I suppose you kept it for Ron lol
I love the "Ask Joe Gutts" section. The questions are so random. Are cognac and brandy the same? What car should I buy? When will prostetic hands that interface with the persons nerves be availabe? Can you stop showing such discusting images of women? Does Isometric Exercise improve eye sight? I'm a 13 y/o girl, but I still enjoy these magazines?
The old magazine reviews are cool. Keep doing them.
Love that! I am 69 now and have magazines from 1956-67. They will laugh at us again 50 years from now.. Naive at the moment and we are shaped by the time we exist in...

$5 dollars an hour is the equivalent to $39.86 today! Thats a lot of money!
That'll be $50 in a year or two.
This was astonishingly interesting to watch.

love the magazine stuff,,used to buy them all the time as a kid . still have a few from the early 70's you made me dig them out

LGR turned one in a while ago that was over 15 years old (or was it 12?). Certainly very old. ,)
@@hateeternalmaver what was it for?
@@sparrow082 It was for a pizza, lol^^ and they still honored it
The year I was born! Hilarious! Keep them coming, Bruce!
Very cool - it was fun to be independent - make everything yourself.
I used to read Boys Life with all the adverts.
Very interesting videos. Keep ‘em coming please!
The Rogallo wing evolved in to the hang glider. It needed some mods first though.
Love these old magazines lookthrough, with your special good comments. Keep it up. I was 25 at the time for the magazine. I think more of us baby boomers like old stuff. :)
A blast back to 1965, I owned one of those dodge Darts, (not in 65 though).
I Had A 66 Chevelle 396 HiPo 425 HP Stock! LOL Cost Me $1350 I Drag Raced It For Years & Never Was Beat, It Ran Low 13's At 110mph Quarter Miles...
What's new? A Vanden Plas princess R motorcar, that's what! My grandad had one, still remember the smell of the leather and also can recall using the little wooden tables that came out of the back of the front seats.
Yeah i always wanted some xray specs when i was a kid . Nice look at the 60s mag Bruce :-)

That turbo thing for VWs reminds me of the turbopumps used in von Braun's A4 rocket. (aka V2)
It took quite some time for turbopump systems other than HTP gas generators to take off, and they're still used to this day when cost and simplicity outweigh performance.
5:18.. Built one when I was about 16 years old. Used 2 metal bowels for the top globe.
ok your the man show us the plans please
I love Science and Mechanics.
Some of those ads look very familiar if you look at the end of a modern Popular Science

Love it!!
Dont tell me Bruce, You were a comedian in a past life. come on tell us nudge nudge wink wink. lol that made my day
" Mules that fly" shows a picture of a Rogallo wing, a few years later would start the hang glider craze.
I still remember the ads in those magazines for AMAZING SOLAR CLOTHES DRYERS, which were hanks of rope, or the device that lets you SEE THROUGH WALLS with the hint that you could spy on your neighbors. I think they would have objected when you drilled a hole through the wall to install the ordinary peephole designed for doors, though. No, I didn't buy either one.
I did buy a package of itch powder from S. S. Adams company, though. It turned out to be a small package of very fine olive wood sawdust.
Thanks
I've been 2 years old back then but I couldn't read english. Well I couldn't read at all.
On page 18 it says they already had starcraft!
I like the reviews of these old magazines :)
Norelco was Phillips in USA as Philco didn't like another electronic company on their turf with similarly sounding name and took them to court.
Ah... interesting info, thanks, I wasn't aware of that.
who won

Pop science had a issue w/ a Osprey aircraft on it! It took 60 yrs for it to be finished. And it's still a bad idea.
no it is not.
My first job (spud peeler/chip cutter) in 1967 paid 1 shilling and 9 pence an hour which, even before Harold Wilson's devaluation of the pound that year, was the equivalent of 24.5 cents US. According to the Bank of England inflation calculator it is the equivalent of £1-56/hour now. AFAIK there was no minimum wage in the UK at that time and employers at that end of the market would tell you to stick your NI card where the sun doesn't shine in the full knowledge that no one would be checking up anyway.
Still, it was possible to sustain an interest in aeromodelling - an hour's work would buy a sheet of 1/4 "x 3" x 36" balsa and and a week's work would by a DC Bantam engine and enough fuel to find that the damn thing was totally gutless. Guess how I know.
Yes, that does look remarkably like Janet Leigh from the Hitchcock film Psycho.
More please
in 1965 min wage was 1.25 per hour. just for information sake that is why the 5 and 6 buck an hour looked so good
I built a slide rule out of cardboard. Used it zero times

Seems this was an advertorial magazine, articles being few and far between all the adverts.
Nearly all the technical magazines were to a large extent.

Funny how people are worried about Vaping their Nicotine... meanwhile they're literally inhaling burning leaves and glue... hahaha!
The last ad you showed. 10 movies for 10 dollars I am sure the woman is the same as the shower ad.stock photo
It would be a Tesla Coil today. Van De Graaf generators are too old-school...

Should have been sharpening blades like real men do!
everyone trained themselves and or learned from someone who did......to bad it does not happen still today, instead the Government found they can charge you thousands for tuition and give you loans to put you in debt faster as a youngster and that way they control you all the way through your adulthood because it takes that long to pay off school loans....now they claim unless you have a piece of paper from a college ( a degree ) you do not know anything.....and I made $3 dollars an hour and had more money then I knew how to spend it...decades later I made far more and stayed broke........yeah the Government made sure of that as well.....O those were the days where innocence and learning actual skills that mattered placed you in great positions.....today it s a piece of paper and the recipients are clueless and in fact down right ignorant about most everything....LOL

I love the "Ask Joe Gutts" section. The questions are so random. Are cognac and brandy the same? What car should I buy? When will prostetic hands that interface with the persons nerves be availabe?
