Inventions Wanted / Mimi Wanted!

I've been posting highlights from a few early 60's issues of Mechanix Illustrated over the last week, and by golly, here are a few more. Inventions Wanted was basically an ongoing shout-out in each issue from the MI editors to their readers, asking them to send in their own ideas for clever new concepts, or even improvements on old ones. Some of them ain't too shabby, while some need more work-- but the neato accompanying illustrations definitely make for a fun article none the less! Also fun, was the attractive appearance of "Mimi" in each MI issue as she bats her eyes and shows off her legs while showcasing something newly conceived and constructed from deep within her own "testing workshop." And now you no longer have to read Mechanix Illustrated just for the articles, Mr. C, as Mimi definitely puts the X into MechaniX!
