If you keep scrolling down, you'll see some interesting simple mechanical hacks in "Hints from the Model Garage" on page "Sidan 181" (that page number is at the top right corner of the browser window). My favorite hack there is a sartorial one: "Your best hat won't get sat on [in the car] if you stow it out of the way in a holder." The text and a diagram show how to make a hat holder with a coat hanger and metal screws. This of course was in the days when men and women wore hats. (I've read that John F. Kennedy single-handedly killed the hat industry: He didn't like to wear them, and when he became president he set a new fashion trend.)
