An excellent tutorial from the 1930's on the principles and development of the Differential Gear. Fast Forward to 1:50 if you want to skip the intro.

  • It wouldn't be an old-timey information video without a crazy-dangerous demonstration at the end.

  • Excellent video!!!!

  • Wow this is easy to understand!

  • MORE SPOKES!

  • THE BEST VIDEO IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE!

  • Wow.. it took a 50 year old demonstration for me to clearly understand this, yea, classic vids rule..

  • @charlessmyth Yeah, this was made when General Motors was REALLY "General Motors."

    When New York City had the 1939-40 World's Fair, General Motor's "Futurama" exhibit was the singularly most impressive exhibit ever put up by a private corporation; the people on line to see it were astounding.

    GM also built a Pontiac (remember Pontiac?) all made of Plexiglass for The Fair that still exists! The car only has 86 miles on it with its original UNIROYAL tires!

  • Has anyone seen the old educational video on how engine oil works? I seen it on youtube but can't remember how I found it. I want to make a playlist with all these old but super educational videos.

  • So it was white people who invented Ghost Riding the Whip, except it's to triumphant orchestral brass music.

  • @bigflytrap

    No. Both wheels are driven equally by the mechanism. It doesn't matter which axle shaft carries the large crown wheel, as the shaft is rotating freely inside it. See 4:06 to 4:20.

  • Understanding this is easier than blinking
