Two minutes in and I know how ice skates work. 10/10
-
Found the video about the differential and now I'm binge watching all of them
-
These old films teach me in a simple manner how an automobile works, something that modern videos can't teach me clearly. I can also see that english was spoken clearer in the 1930's than today. Thank you for uploading these videos.
-
Anyone else binge watching these? I'm starting to realize our modern education system is pretty crap.
-
Damn Even in 1937 they pushed for ten minutes just to get that ad revenue
-
I love how the narrator speaks in perfect english. A lost art today.
-
This film is pretty slick.
-
I never knew oil flowed so fast and so freely inside the engine. I always thought it was a tiny controlled amount, but it makes more sense this way since it also serves as a cooling method and is easier to control.
-
This was the absolute best explanation of how oil works in a car that I've ever seen. Pretty much the best explanation I've seen, period. They let you see the inside of the engine from several shots, provide a diagram of engine flow, show you where the parts are and why oil is important. Excellent! Wish they made more of these in this exact format, 1930s style and all.

Back when USA wanted their citizens to be educated.

there is an old polish saying "YOU WON'T LUBE, YOU WON'T RIDE". it has so many meanings and purpose ;)
-
Clear english speaking, very clear explanation and demonstration... 1000 out of 10 ! I hope these day video can explain things like this
-
When I was a kid learning to work on cars, from my dad, we never had videos like these or even books that went beyond the Chiltons and Haynes manuals. My dad instead, had kitchen table and shop discussions about how and why engines work. It's great to see these technical videos and compare them with my own mental visuals and understanding. One thing I never realized is how important splash is for the engine internals and that the oil ring scrubber also delivers oil to the rod pins.

When I sew this, I felt like we're going backwards. The amount of information and knowledge put in this video is better than nowadays education system
-
Amazing how a nearly 90 year old animation manages to convey the information better than anything produced today.
-
These MUST be shown in school science classes. I don't care if the kids think it's old fashioned because I bet they'll remember them and actually learn. Truly brilliant effort to educate people of the time.
-
Hundreds of revolutions per minute. Oh boy, if only they knew how fast the engines of the future would be. It’s must have been an exciting time for innovation.
-
its cool, that even though the technology in these films are obsolete, the principals are still relevant, and these films are so well put together and explained that they are still relevant.
-
These videos are brilliant. Far better than that trash the turn out these days. All the concepts can be applied to all modern day mechanics
-
I've seen a few of these vintage commercials and educational presentations and I love the production quality. They are so clear and concise and so... well... educational! "They don't make em' like they used to!"
