I just discovered that Popular Science has released their archives for the lasy 137 years for free viewing online.

That's an awful lot of "I remember that story" type browsing! Thought there may be some others around here with no life who might like to know about it :lol:

From which, I want to know what the "dash mounted indicator" that goes out when your belts are tight enough was - apparently the early cars had this. Interesting idea and shouldn't be too hard to devise......

Also a BIG article on Hub Van Doorne in this issue, starting on page 51:

These look fascinating. I love old publications like this. And I have never heard of the turn signal light being used as a belt indicator!

hmm I wonder I had a glitch where Gladys front turn signal stopped working and started working again a few days later after I tensioned belts. I had changed the bulb before to no effect.

That would be called coincidence....
