Wonders of World Engineering 6 July 1937

You certainly don't have to be an engineer to appreciate this wonderful magazine that was published weekly in the late 1930s. Presents delightful exuberance about mastery of nature & building big challenging things!

Achievements of the day were certainly impressive & appear so even now

Explanations & photos are fascinating! Lots of photos. Very interesting
