This is an ad lol. Which makes you think about our current stupid ads that don't explain anything, and how some people still believe in a flat Earth.

Now most of these people are under educated snowflakes

I fail to see your point.

@StealthyMonk I thought it was weird for me to receive a reply about flat earthers from a video about cars, then I came and saw my original reply and it all made sense lol. Hearing about Galileo reminded me to get back my telescope mount from being repaired, time to see Saturn for the first time in my life :D. Anyway, this went a bit off topic lol.

Give me a fucking break. You've never been able to access more education and research now than any point in history, half the kids before aged 13 were working in factories especially in 1937. These are just well designed videos, fuck off with your hipster bullshit.

Yep

Sad but true :)

It's funny you say the English was clearer because it was standard practice at the time for people to use transatlantic accents when acting or narrating in films

Yes. These are great. Loved the transmission video..

yes now everyone makes jokes and etc, here there is nothing but plain information, and then the funny stuff is put apart in the begining and end.

Yes, look for the incorrect spelling and poor sentence structure in the comments.

A certain kind of trained talent was hired to narrate instructional films to keep the dialogue consistent without a US regional accent.

My mind was blown

I never knew that.

The problem is that that may not be how they work. Scientists are still debating the issue: curiosity.com/topics/there-is-still-hot-debate-around-how-ice-skating-actually-works-curiosity/.

Chevrolet phased out this style of oiling in 1953, BUT this is an excellent video of how it was done.

Yess!!!!

I began 1st grade in 1947. Virtually all instruction films of the era were like this, clear, authoritative and simple. It was a comfort to see things presented without trickery and gratuitous complication. You felt that it could be trusted. Today is a lot different and while advances in the technical arts can be appreciated, it's actually a bit overwhelming. There is no wonder that over the years, the attention span of youngsters has suffered because the presentations are too theatrical.

@@whalesong999 Old textbooks are so good. They're small, clear and concise. The diagrams are informative and clean. I benefited a lot from a math textbook from the 50s. So much better than the giant paperweight in High School.

gas comes out in tiny controlled amounts, oil is supplied in large quantities because the damage that would occur from insufficient oil pressure is very, very expensive and often irreparable

I'm pretty sure the engine back in the day still spun at 2-3-4,000 RPM it's the only way they could make power... Unless it was a ship engine that was the size of a building and turned at 150-RPM and making 30,000 HP. With like 15,000lbs of torque... Such as the Titanic... Engines back in the day had to rev high to make power because even the strongest engines for vehicles back then we're not making more the 100-150HP

The engine in this video is just fine running 4,000 rpm. They usually ran in the 3,000rpm range on the highway due to a lack of overdrive.

At the time Tachometers were commonly listed in hundreds of rpms, so 40 would be 4,000 rpm. This could probbably explain why he said hundreds instead of thousands.

Remember, the Romans had trained engineers too. Designed and built roads, bridges, and aquaducts -- some of which are still in use today.

Yeah... but... the use of proper English might be a difficult concept for them to grasp. XD

My 1951 Chevrolet used it. It worked decently. Idled at 5 psi. The bearings wore out more quickly than in modern engines.

I believe that I had almost .006" of clearance at 100,000 miles. They put shims between the caps so that you could periodically re-adjust the bearings. Kind of absurd. My 1999 Saturn SL2 had .003" of clearance at 220,000 miles, and the cylinders had their original crosshatch. I cleaned the pistons, lapped the valves, and threw in new rings and bearings without any machining at all. Still going strong at 360,000 miles with perfect compression. My Chevy had cylinder taper and all sorts of things wrong at 100,000 miles.

@@td3993 we have come so far! Someone once told me the older trucks sometimes pulled hard right or left and "that's just the way it was"

@@davewolf8869 mine never did, and I can't imagine good tires and an alignment job not fixing that, but I suppose anything is possible. The old suspensions were rather loose, though.

1954 was when they finally went to a full pressure con rod bearing on the 235 and 261.

None of this is obsolete

Except the hilarious oil dipper on the connecting rod

@@robotlegs small engines still have those today

Well injection has changed a lot too.

@@jellyfrosh9102 yeah that too, but honestly other than that, and engines being more efficient and reliable, they really haven't changed.

What about the Wankel rotary engine?

Keep it up, this world needs more engineers and a lot less of everything else.

Random. Agreed, but one problem: the school system is a big impediment by trying to shove useless work and information in my face... that also needs to change

@@Creeperboy099 while although theres a lot of useless information in school, especially High School, the farther you get along in your degree path the more useful stuff you learn

Creeperboy and friends there’s no such thing as useless information, schools need to stop teaching to a test and start teaching to educate... gg bush jr. no kid left behind, more like let’s test to the lower common denominator

Random.guy that’s what I meant by useless, our work is only for testing not education.

The song at the beginning is also in a 1930 Walt Disney cartoon called Winter. My kids and I watch it all the time.

The intro was filmed in 1936 in Bavaria during the Winter Olympics. Yes, the Third Reich (Nazi Gemany) flag with swastika is plainly visible. I'm surprised it was not later edited out.

I thought it was for grandma so she could stuff it in his crack when hes got bad gas
