I own both of the "Donald Keith" Time Machine books. I have had them both because they are time travel (I made a searchable bibliography of that genre many years ago on TimeTravelLit.com (http://www.TimeTravelLit.com)) and because they are juvenile series books (I have been researching and writing a Series Book Encyclopedia for many years).
As I have been working on the fiction from Boys' Life that was later published in book form, I decided to tackle Time Machine to the Rescue and figure out which stories were used. Here they are, in order:
"The Time Machine Flies Backwards" (Feb 1960; ch 1-3) "Marco Polo and Our Time Machine" (Oct 1961; ch 3-4) "Our Time Machine in the Jamboree" (Jul 1960; ch 5) "The Time Machine Slips a Cog" (Feb 1962; ch 6-8) "How We Got the Mind-Reading Pills" (Jun 1960; ch 8-10) "The Time Machine Cracks a Safe" (Jun 1964; ch 11-13) "Call to Courage" (not a TM story) (Feb 1957; ch 13-14)
The book contains some modified and additional text to make it something of a "fix up" story since many of the short stories are stand-alones.
At this time I suppose that the 4-part serial for "Mutiny in the Time Machine" (Dec 1962-Mar 1963) was the complete content of the book with the same title. I'll check to be sure since there's clearly a lot of manipulation of the story line for the later (and scarcer) book from Putnam.
