(AUTOMOBILE PERIODICAL) SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN. AUTOMOBILE NUMBER. Vol. CVI, No. 1. New York: Munn & Co., January 6, 1912. Pages 1-40. Folio. Chromolithographic illustrated wrappers. The Scientific American was begun in 1845 as a monthly issued periodical. Most issues featured architectural designs for houses and commercial structures with appropriate building and design advertisements, but there were several which also focused just on the automobile which we have here. This issue, Vol. CVI, no. 1 for January 6, 1912, includes articles "The Selection of a Motor Truck," "Gasoline in War; How Europe is creating an Army by Subsidizing Motor Vehicles," and "The Motorcycle of 1912." It has a two-colored cover showing an automobile designer and client with partially finished chassis of the car in the works. The articles inside are about automobiles, the industry and the newest advancements and features richly illustrated with black-and-white photographs. (Inventory #: 40673)
