"The Marvelous Mechanical Designs of Harry A. Miller", by Gordon Eliot White, published by Iconografix Inc. Softbound, 126 pages.

Photos and text describing Miller's designs from racing cars and boats to a combat car and an engine for the Pitcairn AC-35 autogiro, passenger cars, a forerunner of midget racing cars and engines for aircraft from World War I to World War II. Miller anticipated the Stout Scarab and Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion cab-forward road cars, even the Plymouth Prowler; designs seen here in all their glorious, impractical, inscrutable idiosyncracy. The racing cars worked. In various forms they dominated American racing for years. The marine engines were the class of power boat racing in the 1920s and won the Gold Cup as late as 1946. Miller was undeniably a genius. Designs tumbled out of his fertile mind, some wonderfully successful, some too bizarre to be built; some were put into steel and aluminum but were fated for failure. This book scans his career in all its glories and defeats from 1919 through 1942.
