Aha. Thanks for that attachment. I now have no need to scan my crumbly 1944 copy of the “Geared for Tonnage” article!

I look forward to the day that the scanned collections is available for searching.

Thanks for the pointer, Rob! Those issues will be very helpful.

I am on something of a quest here, inspired by the late Saltwater Salmon.  My long-term goal is to find all issues, scan to PDF, and create a full-text-searchable index that can be freely shared. Hopefully this resource will be of use to enthusiasts and historians of ALL roads, today and into the future. (Plus the PDF form is a lot less crumbly, and therefore better for late night reading. :D  )  The later years are still covered by copyright, so it's doubtful there will be a DVD or suchlike in the near future, but starting the journey may reveal other options.

* For those who find it fun to watch someone else tilt at windmills, I'm attaching a PDF showing current collection status. I've tracked down 334 of 739 issues believed to have been published before White River Publications took over the publication in 1979. Pointers toward or contribution of missing issues would be profoundly appreciated, and will be appropriately credited.

Best,

Don't wait for opportunity to knock. Go bang on its door until it answers.
