In looking for the 1948 Reconstructionist Machzor I came across this interesting article detail time-lining the creation of machzorim for the different movements in America. It is interesting to see when each movement created their own, or revised it, and what material needed to be left in/taken out. The reticence of each movement to create change is visible in the time span between machzor releases, as is the awareness of the times.
I looked on Amazon and Ebay, but cannot seem to find copies of this Machzor. I'd be curious if anyone can. It was published by the Jewish Reconstructionist Foundation, under the English title: High Holiday Prayer Book.
