It'd be cool if you did an video about the history of mail trucks like the llv used in the us.

@TheLegoPerson Год назад

Ooh yes! It would be cool to see how they changed from the beginning of the post office moving by rail to now, that new semi electric one

I'd watch that.

I like it how you always give thanks to the workers at the end. It's a shame it even has to be said but without these hard-working people actually doing the work society wouldn't work for very long, they deserve more respect than a lot of people realize. Great video as always!

@Blitzumi Год назад

Trolleybusses would be a good idea to make a video about because of their interesting history, i would like to see one!

@antiquatedideas1107 Год назад

Always excited when I see one of your videos pop up. This was another interesting one. I love the "or he fell off the face of the earth bit". Your sarcastic remarks sprinkled on occasion add a nice touch. Keep up the good work man :)

Ah street sweepers, my favorite.

@TheWhiteDragon3 Год назад

I'd like to see some videos on snow removal. I've seen some crazy contraptions myself as well as a bunch of other stuff other used by municipalities far away. My state will often hitch up trailers behind snowplows that are diagonal to the truck, so a single struck can plow an entire highway by itself. I've seen videos of other contraptions that collect snow in a large trailer and then flash melt it or mix it with seawater to melt it and then dump it into the water drainage systems.

@Gewalt1984 Год назад

It's 3:08 am and I'm watching a video about friggen street sweepers.

@conradkolo Год назад

What about an episode on tankers (like, trailers for carrying liquids) or maybe the history of cement trucks?

@Hybris51129 Год назад

I use a street sweeper at work regularly to clean the parking lot and dock areas of the property. As it stands I have major issues with the lack of repairability of the modern equipment I have but good grief these early sweepers look even worse unless you had your own smith and/or machine shop to make parts for repairs.

@Goldenwing117 Год назад

Those big ass cranes with all the wheels would be a good video 👀. Like basically a semi truck but a crane. No idea what they’re called.

@bahnspotterEU Год назад

My city has a few interesting sweeper trucks, which can run both on the road and on rails to clean the tracks of the tram- and light rail system. They even have a third headlight at the top which they will turn on when running on rails (all rail vehicles running in Germany must have three headlights).

This made me think: Is there any relation between street sweepers and the invention of the Zamboni machine? They look very similar and it seems that the Zamboni works very similarly.

Talk about trucking in the ksa. The ~45°c desert and long empty roads across the region The constant fear of the engine overheating and getting stranded Just to get the job done and keep the economy running.

@Skorpychan Год назад

I just wish they'd USE the damn things here, to take away all the pulverised grit and salt from the winter. It's sticking to literally everything, the roads are almost as slippery as the ice was in places, and it's costing me a ridiculous amount in screen wash to keep my windscreen clear of it.

g in Elgin is a soft g

@MikeV8652 Год назад

Considering that the company is in Elgin, Illinois, then maybe. However, it's that town that got it wrong. Elgin, Texas, has a hard G, as does Elgin, Scotland, seat of Thomas Bruce, 7th Earl of Elgin (1771-1841) - he of the famed "Elgin Marbles" (the sculptures controversially removed from the Parthenon and other Acropolis temples and placed in the British Museum).

@@MikeV8652 Pronunciations evolve, I'm just going off how the people who live there pronounce it

@MikeV8652 Год назад

@@HuggleNuts Oh, I know, and you are correct about that. However, when one town adopts a non-standard pronunciation for what is already a known name, somebody like Yukon can't be blamed for not knowing that they did. It's a different story when somebody gets it wrong out of sheer ignorance, as Elgin, Illinois, did in this case.
