1956 Autohotkey ancestor

Currently browsing the 1950s Popular Sciences, ran across this:

http://books.google.com/books?id=Iy0DAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PP1&pg=RA1-PA278#v=onepage&q&f=true

You'll have to scroll down a little to see it, it's the bottom right corner of page 278, the page the link above *should* take you to.


Just thought it was interesting....


On a side note, my addiction to reading PopSci and PopMech back issues over the last couple of years has led to a "projects I wannna do" clipping/notes set that is essentially impossible to ever, ever Ever EVER complete (barring science-fiction-grade life extension discoveries).

Which is a good thing.

I like the smug "I'm the king of the world!" look the typewriter has.

Interesting that many of those products have stood the test of time and are still available today.

Hilarious. Seems like a repurposed sewing machine pedal.

How ironic is it that someone invents a device that sucks in 7500 files a day to figure out better ways to spray pesticides? LOL
