The only argument I can give for this being a WB design is that its more
rounded than some of the contemporary generic plans, especially at the
bottom front. But if the whole article sequence has no author admitted,
there can't be any way to know who's design it was.
I left both libraries with book requests on other topics so I will be
visiting them another day. If there are more hints on areas to search,
the ISU library has a room full of periodical indices.

When next at the library, you might look at the masthead for the February
to April 1936 issues of Popular Mechanics to see who is listed as a
contributing or staff writer. That might, or might not, give a clue to the
author of the unattributed trailer plan article. John Gartner wrote a few
how-to-build trailer articles in the 1930's, but I don't have a list of
those.
