Along with Scientific American, Popular Science went woke, lost track of actual science and became a disposable leftist agenda booster. Unreadable eventually.

I just remembered something I saw for the first time in Popular Science, that became ubiquitous.

Today they're called "truss plates." I can't remember what they called them in the Popular Science article, which I think was in their New Ideas From The Inventors column.

I can't find a linkable image of one, but you can google it.
