There's a nice "free" pdf of an old 1940's Mechanix Illustrated Teardrop
article at:

http://www.jpjennings.com/home/TeardropTrailer/MechanixTD/tdpages.pdf
(best to right-click & save as).

This guy did some great work scanning, OCRing, retyping etc, much more than
just an old ugly scan.

This article is often offered "for auction" on Ebay by various
"opportunists"...amazing since Google will find it for you pretty quick...

alas, mine is not so fancy...
