It was this issue reporting news event of the 2nd of Feb 1916 , shown in part below that saw me typing out here, 'O what large letters i wrote,75 years later after my own birth date of the 2/2/49.'                   

Yes i did while smiling, however i soon realised each new book would be twice as thick as the others. That's ok, i thought to myself while drumming my fingers deep in such mystifying ponderings. Well books do come in many sizes however what follows is and was the plan of thoughtful action to ease the cutting off from the sprue of  all those very thick books. A production process that caused a painful end result to my left hand.  So i had to resolve this situation before suffering again after this type of free hand knife cutting!   Yes i cut that very self same thumb again. Such is my lot of being a modest scratch-builder!                                                                                                                                       

i  decided  to split the title up into two words because of their large sizes.   

Now i replaced popular with that of mechanics.

                                          Upon the book shelf two placed side by side with one another,

                                          will read 'POPULAR 'MECHANICS'. Problem solved

Coincidence, played out upon the realisation of my own birth date of the 2nd of Feb 49. 

This P M issue  reported during the Great War, on the 2nd of feb 1916 the fate of the L19 ,German airship that crashed  into the North Sea. She was returning home after bombing London, Great Yarmouth and other places . Although the crew of 16 survived the crash by scrambling on top of the downed airship, they all perished after the English Captain of the fishing boat refused to pick them up. The main reason for such a tragic event was given because the Germans had recently bombed civilian homes during the night along the East Anglian Coast, of Great Britain.
