Descripción: Streamline Car Carries Engine at Rear. The Burney car by Streamline Cars Ltd. Designed by Sir Charles Dennistoun Burney in 1927. See w:en: Streamline Cars Ltd Caption: "At high speeds, the resistance of the ordinary automobile to the air is so great that it materially increases the cost of fuel per mile. The streamline shape is well known in racing; but the English car shown above is fitted for ordinary travel Since the streamlined shape is blunt in front, the seats are placed well forward, and the storage compartments and the engine at the sharply-pointed rear. The car, designed by a prominent aviation engineer, is to make 80 miles an hour with an expenditure of 80 horsepower; it weighs 4250 pounds, seats seven passengers, and has an engine rated at only 22 hp. at normal speeds, but which will work up to 80."

This 1931 issue of Everyday Science and Mechanics would have to be renewed in 1958. Online page scans of the Catalog of Copyright Entries, published by the US Copyright Office can be found here. http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/cce/ The search of the Renewals for Periodicals for 1957, 1958 and 1959 show no renewal entries for Everyday Science and Mechanics or Science and Mechanics. The current Gernsback Publications copyright holder indicated that Gernsback did not make it a practice to renew the copyrights on pre-1964 magazines. A search of the copyright records confirms this. The copyright on the magazine was not renewed and it is in the public domain. The illustration was published without an author's copyright notice. Other photographs on this page had such notices. This illustration is also in the public domain.
