My 15 year old son and I love watching these old films. There's so much history in industry and how it has evolved. Periscope Films is our favorite channel in KZread. Keep them coming and we'll watch them!!

Absolutely Wonderful and inspirational work to the team from PERISCOPE FILMS ❤ WE ALL LOVE YPUR WORK AND PLEASE KEEP IT COMING !!! It is an actual cross section of American and world history that most of us never got a chance to see for first hand ourselves!!! These shows and films actually either smash the lies of some in education these days and solidify others that we learned but diddnt get to visualize!! ❤ Thanks y’all

Thanks for posting! A real service to those who want to understand our past better!

Thanks again for posting this series. Very enjoyable to watch.

Fascinating prediction near the end of the film about the future of the automobile.

I love the RED SCARE messages in all of these films!

"INDUSTRY ON PARADE" was provided to any station who wanted to schedule the series as a public service *FREE.*

Can you even imagine that there were once men whose job it was to hand make corn brooms? In the USA yet!

Fun fact. The best corn brooms are still made by hand in the USA. My grandmother had one for over 30 years. My mom's broom is about 20 years old and still going strong. It's a flourishing home industry in the Ozark mountains.

The brooms were organic, long lasting and environmentally friendly. I'd buy one today

Love these good olde days views into history!! ESPECIALLY THE CAPE COD MASSACHUSETTS INNS OF MY NATIVE LANDS

I like these old Periscope films, but damn I'm glad Rock n Roll was invented. If I had to listen to flutes trilling in music all the time, I'd lose my mind.

Nearly 70 years later and we’re still working on self driving cars.

It is hard to avoid the fact that getting behind the wheel and being in control of a highly engineered and powerful car is just plain enjoyable to many people.👍

What fun is the self-driving car all it is is just another way to control you so in the future all cars can look like a brick cuz there ain't nothing to be proud of anymore cuz you just driving a modular unit that'll take you from point A to point B

Great show.

"I case of a spill you always have nice soft water to fall into". At 60mph that soft water is more like hitting an interstate highway "water barricade ".

Most of these products, if not all, are no longer manufactured in the U.S.A. but rather in China, where wages are almost non-existent.

Where can we get an idea for a story? Oh, look, a matchbook art school ad. And now I know what Jerry Mahoney was doing before he met Paul Winchell.

As others have said these are fascinating, I know it's not a good thing to judge the past thru our contemporary lens, but the bit at the end where the guys says about the forefathers forging great city on plain and waste ground, aye don't mention the native folk that were there already, lol. I had a chuckle at the dummy in the self driving car reading Collier Weekly, Monty Burns favourite magazine ha ha.

Wow, the automobile association “seizing “ cars for testing, wearing a uniform “similar” to a military uniform, a bit like “big brother” is watching, did or do the dealers and manufacturers have a choice whether to take part or was it mandatory for them????? whatever the answer it strikes me as a big chunk of “nope, you can say no but we could carry the conversation on at AAA headquarters if you prefer”. I always believed that “art” is in the eye of the beholder, so one persons “lack of shading, lines off, or poor composition “ is another’s perfection, let’s face it, today’s “artists” can frame a coloured square and declare it art, and critics and/or art lovers will coo over its brilliance and conceptualisation, forgetting that a square is just a square, they must be nuts, in the United Kingdom a so called artist won a prize, I believe it was the Turner prize, for exhibiting an unmade, well “used” (nudge nudge, wink wink, know what I mean) bed with her “soiled” underwear lying around, as I said “NUTS”, and mustn’t forget Damian Hurst (I believe it was him) and his half a sheep in formaldehyde!!!!!!!!!!!!! “NUTS, NUTS, NUTS”. I wish you could still get those wooden clothes pegs (pins) the amount of plastic ones I loose is huge, but at least wooden ones would be biodegradable. A small point but important, barrels are made by “coopers” or “cooper makers “ although in this instance it is more machine made, just another lost skill that got consigned to history. I feel sorry for the “carpenters” on the construction line, probably some would have spent years learning to be cabinet makers and ended up making “Ikea” flat packed or MDF cabinets without a decent joint in view, It’s no wonder we are a throw away society, nothing is built to last anymore. Water skiing, “at least you have nice soft water to fall into “ yup, ad then drown, and water, when hit at speed, is like hitting concrete, and will injure or kill just as effectively. Termites are only effective at destroying homes when they are constructed (mostly) of wood, bricks and mortar are far better. How’s the self drive car testing going UBER, GOOGLE, AMAZON etc etc etc?????????????

Non compliance with recognized standards will result in confiscation of art supplies, no nonsense 100% reality based reponse will be accepted

Income tax?😢

lol 1950s click bit you wont believe how that get their logs so uniform

This is a complete nonsense. Huge, heavy Yank tanks, big inefficient engines, some are low compression sidevalve engines, a spillover from the 30s. The age where under 20mpg was considered normal. This "economy" run was nothing more than a sophisticated advertisement for a fuel company. Fun to watch, but a nonsense never the less.

Announcer: "America is the the land of opportunity". Reality: Sadly, every African American featured in this series is in a position of servitude.
