This article originally appeared in Popular Mechanics magazine in the July 2005 issue and then posted on their web site. Over the years the article has been taken down or inadvertentaly deleted. While doing maintenance on my Morgan web site, I found the broken link, went searching for the file. I've tried contacting Popular Mechanics in Jan 2022 to no avail. I then went searching the WAYBACK MACHINE and found a copy. It look like it is going to take some work to clean it up as it appears to have been built with an auto page generator. So linking from one page to the next will take a lot of work to get it right in the original file. I see a couple of options:

  1. I can reformat the page and extract only the picturs and the text of the article
  2. Leave the pages intact and require that you come back to this page to go the next page in the article.
Currently, I've opted for the second. The selectd page will open in a new browser window so simply close it to return to the main page and select the next page you wish to look at,
