It's a big file, but some may find it interesting if not nostalgic.
It seems like it was written for a smarter audience - note the lack of pre-explanation for all the technology being presented as new and awesome. There is an assumption of basic understanding of principles that are not at all taken for common knowledge today. That magazine would have to be 10k pages to get to the point of the story if it were published in 2009.
Google books is a very cool thing - they have virtually every issue of both Popular Science and Popular Mechanics online, all the way back to their beginning.

oh no...no no no... Why did you show me this? I'm never going to leave my house. This is horrible, they really have EVERY issue...
The funny thing being that atleast some of the older issues of popular mechanics have been written in, some pretty interesting comments as well.
But your right, an excellent tool to look at past issues. I do wish that they had some of the extra issues online as well from the 50's and such. Like their special build your own house for $500 issue and such.
