Thanks to Google Books there are now complete scans of these magazines back to the 1920s, and they are working on getting older issues as well. Many articles on VideoDisc technology were published in these magazines, most of which can be found via the search function. Here are a couple famous ones.

An article (on page 76) in the December 1941 Popular Mechanics about a VideoDisc Jukebox. This is also notable in being published just before Pearl Harbor:

And here's the February 1977 issue of Popular Science with the Magnavox LaserDisc player on the cover and an article on page 85 about VideoDisc technology, including a photo of the CED pilot production facility:
