I enjoy these "new devices" articles from the vintage science magazines. The editors describe each of the latest gadgets with equal enthusiasm, without any clue as to which will last or even be produced. For example, in this item from the February 1936 issue of Everyday Science and Mechanics, posted by Modern Mechanix, the new bicycle lamp generator on the upper right of the second page looks just like the one I had on my bike a mere 30 years ago. I guess that design lasted fairly well.
