Here's another ephemeral item, Metallurgy and Wheels: The Story of Men, Metals and Motors by Technical Data Department of the General Motors Research Laboratories Division, published in 1938.

There are "Other Booklets of a Similar Nature" advertised in the back and they include Electricity and Wheels, Optics and Wheels and Chemistry and Wheels.

The cover alone was enough for me to risk five dollars on it.

Inside I found some dynamic illustrations that are like a cross between woodcuts and Charles Burns.
