1955 – THE MODEL ENGINEER – 27 ISSUES
Model Engineer Magazine was first published, in the United Kingdom, to support the hobby of model engineering in 1898 by Percival Marshall, who was to remain its editor for over 50 years. It has been owned by MyTime Media since 2008. The magazine began focusing on the emergence of a new hobby — the construction of models (often working) and experimental engineering, largely in metal. It appealed to professional engineers, jobbing machinists and anyone interested in making working mechanisms. Subject matter ranges from articles about techniques and tools to profiles of full-size prototypes of modelling subjects. The main content is ‘constructional articles’ describing projects at various levels of detail. WIKIPEDIA
