This is a question Redundant technology

Music on vinyl records, mobile phones the size of house bricks and pornography printed on paper. What hideously out of date stuff do you still use?

Thanks to boozehound for the suggestion

Probably reprinted a lot
I did a quick Google after I posted this and I saw a red edition printed quite a bit later than mine (in the twenties, I think). Mine's definitely green and the binding is original.

I remember the x-ray tube and the fireworks. Incredible stuff; nearly everything in that book would get today's Handy Boy a control order in record time. Personally I enjoyed the electrical stuff; the best thing I made was a morse code transmitter from meccano and D-cells (range: six feet; frequency: all of them.)

Nice that others have seen it too; obviously it was a popular book for a number of years.
