JF Ptak Science Books Quick Post
I have not been a very faithful blogger to the Daily Dose of Dr. Odd series on this blog–certainly not from want of material, because when you allow yourself to see and record it then it is all around you; probably it is because there is so much material that it just washes over a person, like unexpected moonlight.
Anyway, I opened this 1926 volume of Popular Mechanics right at page 636, and this remarkably unnecessary use of, well, a hat. A similar design with little bottles of Scotch might make more or less sense–and what ever it turned out to be didn’t matter one way or the other.
