THE BOY MECHANIC VOLUME I
Transcriber's Notes
This text accurately reproduces the original book except for
adherence to Project Gutenburg guidelines. Each project title is
followed by its original page number to allow use of the
alphabetical contents (index) at the end of the book. The book
used very complex typesetting to conserve space. This
transcription uses simple one-column linear layout.
The text only version is of limited use because of the widespread
occurrence of diagrams and illustrations. Use the pdf version for
the complete text.
Many projects are of contemporary interest--magic, kites and
boomerangs for example. Try a "Querl" for starters.
There are many projects of purely historical interest, such as
chemical photography, phonographs, and devices for coal
furnaces.
Another class of projects illustrate the caviler attitude toward
environment and health in 1913.
