Everyone says how clear and simple these videos are, you have to remember recording equipment was very expensive, film was expensive, all the drawings are done by hand so you had to pay attention to everything to the point where you had to be very good at what you were doing, and when you are that good, it usually means you have learned to break up problems into their components and are able to think about them / present them accordingly. This is the gold standard right here

One of these videos showing how a differential worked was brilliant in its simplicity. The only complaint I have about this video, and admittedly it is a petty one, is that when they are talking about a pressure differential they actually mean a pressure difference.

Films like this were shown to high school students taking shop courses back in the 60's. Sadly, many schools eliminated shop, or industrial arts as it's sometimes called, because they thought all students should go to college and study computers. Now I love computers, and my ability to understand them partially stems from having taken electrical shop in high school in my senior year. I also studied science, history, math and art as well, but my favorite subject was wood shop! I also took mechanical drawing for a month before the school cancelled the class due to there only being five students. The school also cancelled the auto shop course after my first year, because they needed the space to park buses in winter. Total shame!

All the carts and tools were Snap-on too, I can't imagine how much it must have costed to make and stock that shop with everything. I remember I was fifteen and had gotten my first car when I took that class and thinking that it should be a requirement for all car owners because of the invaluable information and skills I learned.

I remember seeing similar films back in my school days, and they really aid in understanding the concepts behind the systems. These were made at a time when manufacturers wanted the consumer to know how their own vehicle worked. It's interesting to look at owners manuals from decades ago and see just how much useful information was in there, unlike today where most of them just say "See your dealer" for anything.

When video games came out, they seemed brainless. "Thank You Daddy!"

These old school instructional videos are amazing and do a great job at explaining things. I've replaced these systems in cars and even large diesel engines without really understanding "how" they functioned. It's one thing to understand that part A does job A, and if you have X symptom, then part A just needs to be replaced, but it's another thing entirely to really understand exactly how part A functions at a component level.

I love how most of our modern car technology is still from the 1950s. I mean it's more fine tuned these days but it's basically the same as back then.

I really admire the kind of thought processes that led to the development of this system. I'd love to see a similar video of modern electric power steering not driven by the engine.

My dad has a GMC 2500HD pickup and it for example uses hydraulic power brakes

My 2018 Honda has this exact system! Whats old is new.

Beautifully explained. My first and only concern was understanding how the control valve was only activated when needed. Seeing the springs on either side of the cam explained most of that. I wonder for how long the springs engage the control valve after tension is released from the springs. Certainly it’s not immediate.

this is awesome very nicely explained

There is some beauty hidden in those old all mechanical cars. Today even steering is controlled via computer.

I learned so much.

I taught college automotives. In the steering and suspension class we'd take these things apart reseal and reuse if possible. We opened shop for student and staff. We only charged 10% (to the big guy lol) over cost of parts. We brought in the money buddy! And we replaced brushes in starters and alternators in automotive electricity and electronics in class. We rebuilt most engines, and learned not to be parts replacers, but today is cheaper to buy a rebuilt. With no garentee it will work the first time.

It's hard to imagine how difficult it was for the engineers to bring this system to a working order, let alone imagine it in the first place. We've been perfecting it for almost a century, and we've got a great result nowadays.

I've learned more from 70 yr old vids in black and white than from vids of these days in HD w/ fancy CGI.

i just fininished highschool and i spent some of my time in school going to a career center. we took tests to get student ASEs and multiple questions had pitman arms. pitman arms arent used anymore so i was clueless what or where a pitman arm was. this clarifies that

For some odd reason I enjoy watching these lol
