I feel that sometimes people try to downplay the intellectual capabilities of people from earlier time eras, but just look at the concise explanations that were relayed in informal videos, such as this one!
I think the scope of these training videos were meant for people who lacked the technological background and wanted to move to the city and be done with "Pa's farm". Though life is different now, I think we can use this approach again.
Only fools think that. People were always inventing and striving for better, that's how we got our modern tools. And we can't stop now, it's our duty to invent the tools that will make future lives even better

@SoMuchFacepalm Nowadays it seems to be a prerequisite!!! I recently dated an elementary school teacher. One morning we were doing a crossword puzzle together and she asked, What's a shooner? I glanced over and told her to go back to shool, she was trying to pronounce schooner!! We are no longer an item.
Videos now: Some low testosterone hyperbolic actor waving their hands around with a unwarranted grin, followed by tasteless and unfunny humor; 70% of the video being about that person and some other useless content, and 30% of actual material. I miss the old school way on how things are presented, and I am not even from around that time.
@@RVoogt during WW2 the Germans had the most powerful Hydraulic press that was used to forge and cast complex pieces for aircraft frames and ships I think Currently China has the most powerful press followed by Russia
@@SimonWoodburyForget Of course. It's a good thing to go over the basics frequently though. I've failed my fair share of tests because I forgot the basics. I have a horrible time remembering details and specifics so relating them to the basics in the area I'm studying helps me remember. Granted, I'm taking a medium level automotive class for the purposes of self diagnosis and repair of relatively easy to fix problems, not becoming an actual mechanic. Nothing as surface level as just knowing how to replace fluids and change brakes, but stuff like learning how to diagnose and replace a transmission, my belts and to better recognize issues before they become expensive. I guess you may have a point that it isn't particularly helpful if you're getting into something more serious, but it's a great foundation for newbies like me.
@@SimonWoodburyForget It's not about figuring it out. It's about being able to relate it easily to other things you know. That, isn't so easily done. If I were to put it more simply, It's not what is taught, it how it's taught. As for the cross-referencing bit: That's how I remember anything. I can't remember Quadradic formula for example, but I know how it was made and where each part of the equation came from. From there, I can reassemble the Quadratic formula from there.
@@SimonWoodburyForget I'm well aware. I still don't get your point. All I'm saying is that this is helpful. You're saying that it's basic knowledge that you can get in 10 min of google searching and that the brain learns differently for each person. You and I are on two different points here and neither of our points contradict each other... so I don't know why you're trying to convince me of something. We're on the same side.
I wish I was in Dixie! Hurray! Hurray! In Dixie's land I'll take my stand To live and die in Dixie (BTW: Dixie was one of Abraham Lincoln's favorite songs. When news of the the South's surrendered reached him, he asked a marching band to play Dixie instead of Battle Hymn of the Republic.)
Ben Knight I read your comment before I watched the video..... LMAO when it came on, paper pages sometimes just don't want to separate, especially at important times.
i'm pretty sure it has been edited out by pc warriors over time.... the only place in the video with awkward silence is when talking about cotton... the instant the gun come up, the sound goes back to normal
I wish they would make videos like this in the same exact format today. Same simple explanations, right to the point, logical, and done in style. None of this flashy, music-infested techno infotainment ordeals we have now. Love the "radio announcer" voice of that era, too!
These are the best, most informative videos I've seen. As an engineer, I can't stop watching these and want to make my own versions of these; explaining complex topics in terms that anyone can understand. I love these.
I'm the most un-handy man you can find, and these videos are absolutely amazing!!! These should actually be mandatory viewing for all (especially!) men!
Henry Jamison "Jam" Handy (March 6, 1886 - November 13, 1983) was an American Olympic breaststroke swimmer, water polo player, and leader in the field of commercial audio and visual communications. Handy was noted for the number of training films that he produced over the years.
@@retard1643 173 mph ? .... in 1937 ? .... On 2 wheels ? .... And Drum Brakes too ? .... F*&k that for a game of soldiers.... I would be shitting myself...........
For a beginner understanding, this did nicer than most textbooks version. I think most textbooks are already assuming that you understand how hydraulic works
Been watching these Old School Videos from this Channel. From Suspension, Rear differential, and now this one, I have to say these are the most well explained videos than the modern, 3D, animated, videos we have today. Thanks for this!
can someone please point me to the video you guys are talking about EDIT - nvm i found it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iMEkxgY8yxE.html
Not according to cancel culture. They think that we had today's social standards and morals since homo-sapiens came into existence therefore everything up until 5 years ago is bad and shouldn't be known. It's a sad world we live in. Social media is one to blame for the interconnectivity of millions of idiots.
Simple Focused Clear Detailed No music, no color, no fancy text titles or anything. God bless those who made those videos. And the voice of that man seems lasted for 50 years. Every documentary video had that voice.
If I remember correctly it's the mid-atlantic accent. It was mainly used in radio and television due to the technical constraints of speakers of that era. The mannerisms of the accent helped deliver sounds within the sound frequencies that speakers reproduced better. I hope that answers your question.
@Plutonium2222 Significantly less effective braking *and* steering, metal dashboards and steering columns that impaled people. No seat belts, seats that ripped out of the floor and fuel pumps that kept going in a collision. Yeah.
The mechanical aspects of early vehicles I will always be able to respect. That and these old training videos/advertisements. My engine compartment has only 5 wires in it or somethin around there, can't stand harness work.
In the new Hyundai Veloster, its super easy to service or take the engine out. Just one wire harness to unplug, unbolt transmission, and a couple motor mounts and the engine is out in no time.
These videos are absolutely incredible. Through the use of easily understandable vocabulary and simple demonstrational models, I was able to understand the basic concept in only a 1 minutes and 30 second. I’ve wondered how hydraulics worked for a while, but always thought it would be too confusing to learn. Any other modern RU-vid video wouldn’t even be past the intro by 1 minutes and 30 seconds, but this video was straight to the point. And any school courses would’ve taken days of useless background knowledge and history before getting to the actual subject.
@@whackyjinak4978 Nothing, man. It's just a google.translate from russian. This phrase have a meaning: "A girl, who walk through the crossroad on the red traffic light" in our country. And it match to original rhythm from song. Can you explain to me, where i made a mistake? I'm seriosly.
i know i'm the millionth person in the comments to say this, but...bro, these old-ass instruction videos are without question the best ones to start with.
Look how well every piece of specialty made demonstration equipment is machined and assembled. Remember when companies used to educate you enough to make you Respect them enough to buy their product?
Damn! So interesting, yet puts me to sleep easily in the evening! I love it! Somehow I feel like I should have lived in the 20’s or 30’s. Something about those two decades hit me somewhere deeply that I can’t quite explain. Thanks for all of these videos!
Its so easy to soak up all the knowledge from these videos because they provide examples and stem from simplicity. Im so glad i found these people have tried explaining these concepts to me and i could never grasp onto it but these videos are amazing.
They're not dumbing it down. It's being explained in a very concise way. Exact and to the point. Video's like the ones produced today over explain simple concepts because the concepts "Are" simple. It's just that the presenters like those on RU-vid videos need to make themselves "Seem" more intelligent than another. Don't be fooled by people who think that they are smarter than others. They're not ! They've just learnt different things than what other people have.
@@Francois_Dupont Drum brakes are excellent for parking brakes on steep hills as they are "self energizing" meaning they can generate their own breaking power once started. However they can lock-up under hard breaking reducing your breaking power in emergency's.
I've read, watched, listened, thought and imagined for long time, years to be precise. Now in 3 minutes I understood! Are our brains filled with complications?
Love how these vintage videos simplify mechanical topics into easily understood explanations and demonstrations. Drum brakes as the primary car brakes though... well that's getting a bit too vintage, haha.
these videos that explains "complicated" topics in such simplicity shows why in the past they used to make great engineering projects with many breakthroughs.
Ikr, but if you think about it, the education system is pretty outdated and was probably the same since the time the original video was made. Just a bland school system that tests students skill in memory not knowledge where the goal is to make the exact same type of person through the fact that they have to get all As. The real wish is, if only school was based on students interests, not unoriginal information.
@@isthisagoodname4972 that's very true. Interests combined with aptitude tests and a choice bewteen hands on learning and/or auditory lessons would probably make the best learning environment
Lucky for them, but it isn't just education thats fruad its also just how society is designed in general and this goes for the whole world. Like how kids have to spend hours at school and probably dont like it then graduate or drop out, just to get a job they will probably hate doing and have to spend hours doing it just for minimal wage and how it continues like that until you retire. Some people get it easy and many get it hard. And it leads to people feeling depressed during school hoping they get it over with, then nothing gets better after school and they either have to go with it or just mentally suffer to the point where they start to feel suicidal. If only humanity made it you have more meaning to life other than to work. Thats all we do, work.
Not everyone's goal in life is to get from 0 to 60 in 5 seconds. Slower accelerating cars still get the job done, and usually last longer because the RPM's are kept down and prevent larger wear on parts.
It's interesting or even emotional to think that while almost certainly all the people involved in the making of this are dead by now, their work has been preserved and passed down
As someone seriously considering building a homemade quad-bicycle, these videos are really helping me understand car engines, braking systems, transmission, etc., even if technology has changed.
No. TV were black because in 1936, the world was black and white only. It wasn't until around 1950s until colored paint were invented to paint the world
84 years passed!! What a grate well delivered explanation video!! One of the best about hydrolics to this day!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👑 A moment of silence and respect to all the crew and people who participated in this great video🌹 R.I.P⚘
That single style master cylinder is a death trap, if there's a leak in the system which goes unnoticed the first warning you'll get is when ALL your brakes fail. That is why modern cars normally have two reservoirs within the master cylinder, one for the front wheels and one for the back. So at least you'll have some brakes left even if a major leak robs the fluid from one side.
3:11 I think I just nerded out. The press multiplies Force, not Power. Lol. It's a Force multiplier because of conservation of Energy. Power is Energy distributed over a Time interval. Same energy, same time interval = same power. Work = Force * Distance, is a form of energy. Energy (Work) is fixed, so different distances means different forces.
Here's some more nerd for you. Rene Descartes, the 17th century philosopher, scientist, and mathematician (he invented Cartesian coordinates as a means of translating algebra into geometry and vice versa), did some of his early scientific work in hydraulics, and that led him to become one of the first scientific "atomic" theorists. But back then, atomic theory, or rather, the theory that matter was made of tiny particles, was called "microcorpuscularianism."
@@SlippySnack it's only a concern when servicing brake drums, which are infrequent since they are typically only sold on lightweight economy cars that don't put much stress on them. still, it's why you need to take great precaution by dousing down the inside of the drum with brake cleaner fluid before you fiddle around taking it off.
Good stuff for today's engineering students. Old school is sometimes better made and from a basics perspective. I send these vids to my two kids in college studying engineering, one at Cal Poly!
