Around The Corner - How Differential Steering Works (1937)

That was a great video, thank you! Knowing basic gear mechanics helps a lot in understanding how cars function. This 1937 video about differentials is also enlightening: [VIDEO] Why is it that old tutorial videos are so thorough and informative?

Not just the 50s/60s - this video explaining differentials is from 1937 and is a marvel of pedagogy: [VIDEO]

Here’s a terrific explanation of how differential gears work, from a film produced by GM in the 30s: [VIDEO]

A similar thing - the best explanation I've seen about how cars' differential steering works comes from 1937. [VIDEO]

First thing I thought of when you said that: [VIDEO] Done properly, it's an amazingly powerful way of explaining things.

One of the best "how this mechanical thing works" for me is about differential/steering by Chevrolet (1937.). It's almost 100 years old by now but still one of the best "how" videos ever. [VIDEO]

Not just military training videos, older ones in general are often superior to what gets made today. My favorite is probably this one on vehicle differentials: [VIDEO]

This is great. As for the criticism that a lot of the content is old, most of the core concepts can be explained better with older tech as it's simpler. This allows you to focus on what is happening and leave the extra details about what technology a part or process has for a case by case basis. [VIDEO] is a great example of this. Saying that, an article on direct injection, common rail diesels, efficient turbo charging, variable valve timing, MAF VS MAP EFI would be worth considering.
