Old model engineer magazines

Looking round our local supermarket we may have to eat back issues instead of pasta!

Hi Folks

I am looking for ME from Jan 1982 to AUG 2002 and MEW 01 to 90 to complete the library I want. The difficulty is that I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada so I need them to be within one hundred fifty miles or so. If there are any quantities available in my corner of the world, please send me a personal message.

Thank you JOHN

Sorry for the delay ... I knew I'd seen your post but couldn't find it:

If you're not hung up on ME per se you might want to sample the Practical Mechanics mags at **LINK** and see if they suit you.

I find these intensely interesting. Published through the war years, they (surprisingly?) give all kinds of info on contemporary British and American warplanes. Plus lots on the up and coming new-fangled television including construction articles on flying-spot scanners; analyses of just how far into the 21st century it will be before we set foot on the moon (information provided by the "experts" of the day); steam and small gas engines etc etc.

The editor's (F.J. Camm) comments in each issue is worth a read each month too. All in pdf form so no problem with "bulk". Stick 'em on an iPad and take them with you to the waiting room (Oh, I forgot .....).

If you have a download manager such as IDM (Internet Download Manager) you can download everything currently on the page in one swell foop. (He's continually adding more issues).

Hi Bandersnatch.

Thank you for your response. I had not heard of this magazine before. I see the publisher was George Newnes. I have one of his Mechanical Engineer's Handbooks from the 1940s which has lots of interesting stuff in it. I see lots of interesting reading ahead of me.

Regards

John

You're welcome, Makon. I used to get this magazine as a teenager in the 50s/60s and I'm having a ball with all of these. Still plenty of relevant construction articles too.

There are some indexes on the site as well. Have fun!
