" The Popular Mechanics magazine archive--especially the 100-plus-year-old section--stinks. It smells a bit as though it&amp;#039;s been stored in the wet basement of your untidy, chain-smoking uncle. When you get beyond sensory observations, the content of our 106-year archive captures a remarkable breadth of news, views and practical advice over the past century. Still, spend more than a few minutes with your face buried in paper that&amp;#039;s more than a century old and, unavoidably, dust and mold start doing strange things to your sinus cavities.  This problem is no more. In October, we began boxing up the magazines and sent them off to the folks at Google, who meticulously unbound and scanned each and every page ever published under the Popular Mechanics banner. Google, mercifully, recorded neither the smell nor the dust--so when you decide to click through the pages of a 1905 Popular Mechanics, you can do so without a preemptive dose of antihistamines and a box of tissues.  You can search the archives on your own, but on a weekly basis we will also be highlighting our favorite past stories on the PM site. Here is a taste of our favorite coverage.   H.A. &amp;quot;Dad&amp;quot; Munro, owner of the world&amp;#039;s fastest Indian, the famous motorcycle first mentioned in Popular Mechanics.  Our coverage of the Apollo Missions, including ideas for rockets that never quite took off.  Depression-era DIY projects.  The beginning of America&amp;#039;s road trips with the advent of the Interstate Highway System.  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
